Occupational Health Referrals

Medical Services

Chemist On Call works closely with our Occupational Health teams at Healthcare Connections to provide a two-way referral system where appropriate.

Our professional and experienced Medical Team is led by a Rail Specialist OH (occupational health) Physician, overseeing teams of OH Physicians, OH Nurses and Registered General Nurses. This means that we can offer you a wide variety of services, at locations to suit you, some of the main areas of service are explained below.

Pre-employment and Periodic Medicals

A complete pre-employment or periodic (for example bi-annual) medical assessment and report as appropriate, includes a drug/alcohol screen. In many business sectors a pre-employment screen is considered to be ‘the norm’. Keeping regular checks on employee health, via a periodic medical, to ensure the safety of the workforce, and the general public, is a key requirement in certain safety critical industries.

It is important to know the health of a potential workforce in advance, particularly in safety critical industries and as an on-going measure. A cost-effective medical screening programme can work alongside your internal recruitment process to provide you with a seamless route to final appointment and maintain workforce health and wellbeing beyond that. Importantly, the pre-employment screening is scheduled in for you before the onward cost of training and employee set up is incurred; saving you both valuable time and money.

Once you have an employee, you want to keep them and by offering a periodic screening programme, not only are you caring for the health of your employee and therefore your business, but you are also providing your employee with an attractive and considerate benefit.

Our programmes can additionally work hand-in-hand with our full occupational health monitoring, paper-based health questionnaires and the basic health checks, as necessary.

Health Surveillance

Health surveillance screening allows us to look further into the health of your employees and helps to address the impact of the working environment before it becomes a serious, and potentially expensive, health problem. Healthcare Connections can help you to meet the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) and other standards for the required health screening of employees. Typical areas for surveillance include HAVS, Noise Exposure and Working at Night.
