Our lead physicians are recognised by the Irish Medical Council as specialists in occupational medicine, are fully qualified and are fellows of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians.
Our main occupational healthcare services include:
Pre – placement Health Screenings
Our aim is to ensure that the candidate is fit for the specific work tasks. Our focus is to assess the candidate’s fitness to do the job, and to ensure that they can work safely without causing damage to their health or to that of other employees. We will advise on any work modifications required to enable the candidate to perform the job safely and effectively.
The candidate may be assessed either through our online pre-employment assessment forms (available on our website) or by undertaking a full medical assessment at one of our nationwide, fully-equipped medical centres.
