Post-assignment screening and care

Research that InterHealth participated in found that of the thousands of mission partners and development workers we see returning from international projects, over half are diagnosed ‘ill’ on return.

The Geosentinel study emphasised the importance of effective post-assignment screening for identifying any health issues, ranging from communicable diseases, psychological health issues (primarily cumulative stress) or the exacerbation of a pre-existing health condition.

Mid/End of Assignment Medical

With the exception of those abroad for short periods of time, we recommend that mission partners should have a mid or post assignment medical. These medicals are designed to discuss any known health concerns as well as to screen for potential health problems before they cause symptoms.

Post-Assignment Personal Review

Many mission partners we see return from international work with cumulative stress. We provide a Confidential Review as an opportunity to explore personal matters and to support resilience and psychological health or alternatively a Psychological Review, which provides organisations with a brief clearance report.
