At Wrightway health we undertake a short questionnaire coupled with basic screening tests. The results of the screening are later reviewed by a qualified Occupational health nurse or a Doctor. The screening measurement may be undertaken by a technician or a nurse. No results will be given out by the technician.
If the initial screening identifies a problem or concern the employee will be contacted and either asked to provide further information or be asked to return for a more in depth assessment with a doctor. If this second assessment is required or if we need to get further information form a GP or specialist then further charges will be incurred on top of the fee for the screening medical.
