General medical examinations cover a wide range of occupational health needs including forklift operator assessments, safety-critical worker medicals, pre-placement screenings, and other workplace-required health evaluations. Our GMC-registered doctors carry out these assessments from £95.
Who Needs a General Medical
This service covers any workplace medical not specifically listed as a driver, taxi, airside, or management referral. Common examples include forklift operator medicals (HSE/ITSSAR/RTITB compliant), safety-critical worker assessments, pre-employment screenings, confined space medicals, working at height assessments, and night worker health evaluations.
What the Examination Covers
Your assessment includes a thorough medical history review, vital signs monitoring, cardiovascular evaluation, and vision and hearing tests. For physically demanding or safety-critical roles, we include functional capacity evaluation, musculoskeletal assessment, and role-specific fitness checks. The scope is tailored to your employer's requirements and the demands of your specific role.
Industry Standards and Compliance
Our assessments meet the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, PUWER regulations for equipment operators, HSE ACOP L117 for forklift drivers, and other relevant workplace safety standards. We provide certificates and reports that satisfy employer and regulatory requirements.
Confidential Reporting
Medical reports maintain strict confidentiality while providing employers with fitness-for-work information. We communicate findings focusing on work capability rather than specific diagnoses. Follow-up recommendations may include specialist referrals, workplace modifications, or health monitoring requirements.
