Adding a fiscal examination to a GP’s medical test would be confusing, as fiscal matters relate to finances, not health. The GP’s role is to assess your physical and mental health, so introducing financial checks would mix up the purpose of the visit and take focus away from health issues.

A Post Offer Medical Examination is a health assessment conducted after a job offer has been made but before the employee begins work. It aims to ensure that the candidate is medically fit to perform the job safely and effectively.
This examination is important to identify any medical conditions or disabilities that could affect the candidate's ability to perform the job. It helps ensure workplace safety and compliance with health and safety regulations, and it also allows for necessary adjustments to be made.
Typically, candidates for roles that involve physical labor, exposure to hazardous materials, or other high-risk activities are required to undergo this examination. However, employers in any sector may require it to ensure the candidate's fitness for the role.
The examination can include a review of the candidate's medical history, a physical examination, tests for vision and hearing, lung function tests, and assessments for specific job-related risks. The exact content varies depending on the job role and industry.
In the UK, these examinations must comply with the Equality Act 2010, which protects candidates from discrimination based on health conditions or disabilities. Employers must ensure that the examination is relevant to the job role and does not unfairly discriminate against the candidate.
If the examination reveals a health issue that would make it unsafe or impossible for the candidate to perform the job, the employer may reconsider the offer. However, they must explore reasonable adjustments or alternative roles before withdrawing the offer, in line with the Equality Act 2010.
Candidates should expect a thorough assessment of their health related to the job they will perform. This may include filling out health questionnaires, undergoing physical exams, and potentially being referred for further tests depending on the initial findings.
Yes, the results of the examination are confidential. The occupational health professional will only share relevant information with the employer, typically with the candidate's consent, and in accordance with data protection laws.
If a health issue is identified, the occupational health professional will discuss the findings with the candidate and employer. They may recommend adjustments to the role, further medical evaluation, or, in some cases, suggest an alternative position within the company.
Employers can arrange these examinations through occupational health service providers. These providers can conduct the assessment on-site or at an external clinic, depending on the company’s preferences and the candidate’s needs.
