Primarily, our pre-deployment medical assessments are designed for employees who will be working internationally. However, these assessments can also be beneficial for those with roles requiring extensive travel or exposure to diverse environments.
Most of our assessments are non-invasive and present minimal risks. However, as with any medical procedure, there might be slight discomfort. We always prioritise the candidate's safety, and any potential risks will be discussed beforehand.
If a candidate does not meet the criteria for a specific segment of the assessment, it doesn't necessarily mean they're unsuitable for the role. We'll provide detailed insights into any areas of concern, such as pertinent medical conditions, allowing you to make an informed decision. Additionally, recommendations might be given on potential interventions or adjustments.
It's generally recommended that candidates wear comfortable clothing suitable for physical activities and enclosed shoes. If there are any specific preparations needed, we'll provide detailed instructions prior to the appointment.
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a questionnaire used to determine the level of daytime sleepiness a person may experience. This tool assists us in identifying any potential sleep disorders that could impact the safety and productivity of the candidate in the workplace.
Our musculoskeletal check involves evaluating the candidate's range of movement, posture, and reflexes. This provides insights into any potential musculoskeletal problems, ensuring your candidate can safely undertake the physical aspects of the job role.
