Fitness for Work > Pre-Placement Health Screening

Now that you have been made a conditional offer of employment with NHS Grampian we wish to know about any disabilities or health conditions that may affect you in your new post so that, where appropriate, we can advise your manager of any support needs you may have and how these can be provided for. We also need to ask about conditions which could pose risk to patients so that we can assess these and consider how any risk can be avoided, whilst assisting you to successfully carry out your role with NHS Grampian. This can be achieved with most health problems and disabilities, even if substantial.

As a prospective employee of NHS Grampian you have a duty to provide relevant information to GO Health Services. Failure to disclose information about a physical or mental health problem that could affect patient safety would be a breach of this duty and could result in disciplinary action.

The information provided will be retained by GO Health Services and will be held on a secure database and will not be used for any other purpose without your consent. Please note however some information may be shared for statistical purposes only which will not identify individuals.

Your manager will only be informed of the effects of a health problem or disability, if relevant to your needs or patient safety, and of recommendations on support or adjustments that could be of assistance to you.

In order to proceed with your application you are required to provide the following documentation. If you declare any condition which may require support, or affect fitness for work with patients, an Occupational Health Adviser will contact you for further information.
