Medical Declaration/GP Details
CONFIDENTIAL - Due to the nature of the role you have applied for we need to carry out an assessment of a new starter health questionnaire – even if you have
been employed in UK health services before. The health of each candidate is considered individually and a decision regarding fitness for work in
the prospective job role will be based on the functional effects of any underlying health condition/disability/impairment as well as health service
requirements for fitness and immune status.
Before health clearance is given for employment you may be contacted by telephone from a clinician at Healthier Business UK Ltd, however you
may also need to be seen by an occupational health advisor/specialist or physician, arrangements for face to face consultations will be arranged
by your employer or agency. We may recommend adjustments or assistance following an assessment to enable you to carry out your proposed
duties safely and effectively. Recommendations to your employer will be directed to essential information regarding your health and the hazards
and risks of your employment and with due reference to other relevant statutory requirements and professional practice. Our aim is to promote
and maintain the health of all individuals in the workplace: staff, service users and third parties. Your records will be retained electronically in
accordance with best practice and the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations. Your records will be held on file for the purposes
of processing your request only and for no longer than is necessary, however your records may be subject to internal clinical audits. Your records
may also be used to cross reference and ascertain your fitness should you register with other clients of Healthier Business UK Ltd.

Night Workers
The Working Time Regulations 1998 Health Assessment
A night worker is an employee who is scheduled to work at least 3 hours of his/her daily working time during night-time on the majority of days on which he/she is scheduled to work. Night-time is defined as the period between 11 pm and 6 am.
Night workers are entitled to a health assessment to check whether they are fit for the work to be done. Very few health problems will prevent people being able to work at night, and where there is a medical problem which could be relevant it will almost always be possible for the person to be able to work during night hours with suitable modifications to their treatment programme.
The purpose of the questionnaire is to ask whether you have any health problem which could be affected by night work, so that where necessary an appropriate medical review can be arranged. The questionnaire will be confidential to the Occupational Health Department but a report on your fitness will be provided to your manager who is responsible for work assignments and for the arrangements for health and safety at work. Please complete the form and tick the appropriate box for the questions listed; if you have any other condition which you believe should be considered please write brief details at the bottom of the page or continue on a separate sheet of paper.
If you answered YES please complete the following questions, failure to do so may result in this form being rejected.
