Medical assessments are carried out to ensure an individual is fit to work in a specific environment, travel to a specific country, ensure the environment is not harming an individual and for health promotional reasons.

As well as carrying out the full range of statutory medicals, Abermed can create individually tailored medicals.

Medical assessments can be carried out at our own medical centres or onsite. Abermed offers standardisation across the UK and has the capacity to carry out large numbers of medicals with easy availability, including online booking.

Our extensive network of third party medical providers gives coverage across the whole of the UK. Abermed also carries out medicals for international health care providers who do not have medical centres in Scotland.

Communicating results quickly and accurately is of course a key part of the service and we now offer online certificates, faxed certificates and telephone confirmation of failed medicals, alcohol tests or non?negative drug screens.

Medical assessments offered include:

• IR Medicals
• Asbestos medical
• Pre-employment Medicals

If the Medical Assessment you require is not included in the above list, please contact us at Abermed and we will be pleased to advise you of availability.

Abermed provides medicals when and where you need them and ensures the results of those medicals are communicated back to you in line with your expectations.

Pre-Employment Medicals

Pre-employment assessments are used to ensure that the potential employee has no pre-existing ill health or disability that make the performance of the proposed job difficult or unsafe for the individual, co-workers or third parties e.g. visitors or young people.

The outcome of such an assessment could advise managers on the needs of individuals with physical and mental impairments, in keeping with the Disability Discrimination Act.

Abermed provides a wide range of tailored pre-employment assessments. These assessments can vary from questionnaires to full medicals (may include drug and alcohol screenings) which provide health surveillance baselines, pre-employment certificates and other industry specific certificates.
