Immunisation
NHS staff may be exposed to infectious hazards during the course of their employment and in certain circumstances may also transmit infection to patients.
Under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) employing NHS Health Boards have statutory responsibilities to protect staff from the risk of infection from biological agents. These responsibilities may be fulfilled, in part, by ensuring that appropriate immunisation is offered to staff and others who may be at risk. Consideration should also be given to offering immunisation to those working in NHS premises but not employed by the NHS (e.g. students, research workers and voluntary workers). Please access the tabs below for further information on the immunisations we undertake.
Blood Tests & Screening
Clients may require blood screening for a number of reasons – please access the tabs below for further information on the screening we undertake. For blood tests not listed please refer to NHS Grampian Staff Intranet Laboratories Tests Page (only available for NHS Grampian staff on an NHS device/network connection).
