What It Involves
Your resting blood pressure and pulse are checked with a cuff and takes under a minute. It's a standard cardiovascular screen across almost every occupational medical, since undiagnosed high blood pressure is common and can affect fitness for physically demanding or remote-location roles where emergency care isn't nearby.
What to Bring
Valid photo ID (passport or driving licence) (and 1 more items)
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes - take your prescribed medication as normal unless your GP has told you otherwise.
Health questionnaire
If your clinic requires a pre-visit health form, we'll email you their link. You complete it directly with the clinic — we never see or store your answers.
