Pre placement Screening
(New starter health screening)

Our online digital screening questionnaires (Pre placement Screening) assess mental health, physical health and neurodiversity to help clients support their new team members from the moment they start employment.

Pre placement screening:

Our digital screening questionnaire (Pre placement Screening) is designed to help clients understand potential health concerns that may affect an employee’s ability to perform their duties, to have an awareness of duties that may impact an employee’s health condition and to offer guidance and recommendations on how best to support the individual whilst they are in work.

Efficiency is key which is why our Pre placement Screening, PPQ questionnaire requests can be sent securely at any time through our state-of-the-art portal, Meddbase and once sent, referrers can easily check the status of the questionnaire and access outcome certificates conveniently in one place.

What does it involve?

Curated by our Lead OHP, Head of Psychological Services and Head of Physiotherapy, PPQ health screening provides an independent clinical assessment of a new starter’s health in relation to the role they have applied for. This comprehensive pre placement screening helps to significantly reduce work-related health issues and supports employees in performing their duties safely and effectively.

Our Pre placement Screening (PPQ) also links seamlessly into Health Surveillance programmes so that our team can arrange the applicable base-line medical, for example Audio testing or a Safety Critical Medical.

The process is fully secure and completely confidential, and new starters will be asked to provide their informed consent for our clinical team to share fitness certificate with their employer. The certificate won’t include responses to individual questions, however, may provide insight into any declared conditions and include details of reasonable adjustments for consideration.

How will we deliver our services?

How will we deliver Pre placement Screening (PPQs):
  • PPQs are triggered through Meddbase our secure online portal and usually requested by a recruiting manager, HR or recruitment team.
  • Once sent, the new starter receives an email inviting them to complete the questionnaire (and a text message notification). Instructions are included within the invite.
  • Upon completion of two-factor-authentication, participants can access the questionnaire which can be saved at any point, if required.
  • Participants receive an instant on-screen confirmation that they have completed the questionnaire at the same time, we notify the referrer, so they are also aware.

Outcome of the Pre placement Screening services

In most cases, outcome certificates are published within a few minutes of receiving a completed questionnaire, however, occasionally, a more detailed follow up review is required which may involve a short call with the new starter. In a small number of cases, escalation to a full OHA or OHP consultation may be recommended. If this is the case, our team will be in touch to let you know and to seek approval to proceed before reaching out to the new starter to arrange the consultation. Or, if you prefer, we can arrange this seamlessly through a delegated authority arrangement.
