• Pre-Employment Questionnaires - 80 per year

• Hand and Vibration Checks - 30 per year

The services are currently delivered using a blended approach of services delivered at one of our three on-site clinics (Plymouth, Exeter and Taunton) and remote/virtual.

The aim is to reduce to three clinic days in 2026 (the fourth day was added temporarily to clear a backlog of routine medicals).
