Pre-assignment screening and care

As essential as having up to date vaccinations is ensuring your staff are physically and psychologically resilient and prepared. Our pre-assignment medical and psychological screening services are tailored for long-term development workers, international and emergency staff, and will help your organisation to fulfill their duty of care.

If you recruit from resource poor countries, we can also provide your staff with remote health screening.

Pre-Assignment Medicals

We recommend Pre-Assignment Medicals for all those working in developing countries. This is not just considered good practice, but in our experience can be dangerous to omit. By focussing on health problems either known or discovered at the time of the medical, we can give specific advice and recommendations and help ensure that individuals are medically fit for the roles they will undertake.

Sending organisations are provided with a Health Clearance Form from our doctor and a full report is sent to the individual, including test results and any health recommendations.

Pre-Assignment Psychological Clearance

Voluntary organisations are recruiting staff to work in increasingly challenging and high risk environments, both internationally and in the UK. Prepare your staff to be psychologically robust and fit to undertake their specified assignment or to work within the ethos of a particular organisation.

We provide a thorough Psychological Clearance, carefully revised to meet the needs of the current generation of aid workers and will offer you an independent, professional opinion on the psychological health of your candidate/s. It is available to couples where appropriate.
