Occupational Health Screening involves implementing systematic, regular, and appropriate procedures to ascertain whether a candidate is deemed high or low risk. Healthier Business UK Ltd conducts screenings to establish employment protocols, ensuring that candidates meet the framework criteria to receive a Fitness to Work Certificate for placement. Our goal is to advocate for and uphold the health of all individuals in the workplace, including staff, service users, and third parties.

Our Standards:

At Healthier Business UK Ltd, we’re all about embracing the gold standard in quality practices, as set by the Department of Health (DoH) Green Book, the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence (NICE) Guidelines, the robust Safe Effective Occupational Health Service (SEQOHS), and, of course, the venerable National Health Service (NHS).

Our commitment? It’s not just about following these standards; it’s about championing and embodying them. We’re on a mission to uphold the highest benchmarks in healthcare, ensuring that our practices align seamlessly with the best in the business.

Compliance:

Navigating the intricacies of NHS Framework Agreement compliance can be quite the puzzle, but fear not – we’re well-versed in the complexities and ready to team up with you. Our goal? To ensure you meet your legal obligations and seamlessly operate within the confines of the relevant framework agreement.

Under this agreement, candidates must show their immunity to communicable diseases and submit a comprehensive occupational health questionnaire. At Healthier Business UK Ltd, we meticulously assess their immunisation documentation for Non-Exposure Prone Procedures (Non-EPP) and Exposure Prone Procedures (EPP). But that’s not all – we scrutinise every information provided, leaving no stone unturned to guarantee they meet all the relevant standards before placement. Picture it: a compliant, worry-free candidate ready to shine when the audit spotlight hits.

And there’s more – for those seeking that extra layer of assurance, we can perform a Covid Risk Assessment and furnish a detailed certificate outlining any necessary actions.

Communication:

Effective communication is critical during the screening of new starters. Employees are keen to understand the reasons behind the required tests and the advantages it holds for them. Throughout the screening journey, your assigned nurse and administrator will keep you in the loop with frequent updates and reports.

Our dedicated team is committed to working closely with you daily, ensuring that your candidates smoothly navigate the path to compliance. We take the initiative to reach out directly to candidates, providing them with all the necessary details on achieving compliance and lightening their load.

But we don’t stop there – we offer a variety of channels for candidates to connect with us, whether through a traditional phone call, email, secure live chat, or even video link appointments. Your journey to compliance should be as seamless as possible, and we’re here to make that happen.
