Buying Solutions Screening

Why do I need it?

As you are mostly likely aware all companies working with the relevant NHS Buying Solutions Framework Agreements are responsible for ensuring they appoint either their own Occupational Health Provider or a suitably qualified team who meet the current requirements/guidelinesl.

Standards we adhere to:

Healthier Business Ltd will ensure that your candidates undergo comprehensive health screening and have current immunisations and test results.

All staff who are working, with our Buying Solutions clients will have the necessary qualifications and competencies to undertake the work. All Nurses employed by Healthier Business UK Ltd will also have a recordable qualification with the NMC as a specialist practitioner.

We are also pleased to advise you that we comply with the requirement to employ three specialist occupational health physician's who are on the GMC specialist register.

Prior to undertaking any work for a new client we will always supply evidence of our compliance with the relevant legislation. As a business we feel it is best to be transparent, so simply stating that we meet the current requirements is not good enough this is why evidence will always be supplied.

Compliance...

The compliance issues surrounding Buying Solutions Framework Agreement are often complex but we understand these and work with you to ensure you are meeting your legal obligations and that you are operating within the relevant framework agreement.

How does it work?

They are many ways to utilise our Buying Solutions screening services and these include:

Option 1: Questionnaires along with pathology reports are faxed to Healthier Business
Option 2: Questionnaires along with pathology reports are emailed to designated email address
Option 3: A nurse visits your office and screens the questionnaires and pathology reports

Issuing fitness certificate/Notification of failure

After the questionnaires/pathology reports have been screened we will issue a fitness to work certificate stating either fit for epp or non epp on a sameday basis.

If the candidate fails our screening process we will issue a notification of failure detailing the reason why and recommendations in order for you to achieve clearance at a later date.

Working with you

Communication is key in pre employment screening; employees want to know why they are being asked to undertake tests and what the benefits are to them.

We can help you in providing your employees with information about who we are, what we do and what they can expect of our company. In our experience, the better informed the employee is, the more cooperative they are and the easier it is to identify and manage any potential health problems.

Communication

Throughout the screening process your designated nurse will supply you with regular updates and reports

You will also receive a copy of our internal audit results from our Medical Director on a monthly basis

Your designated nurse will work with you on a daily basis to ensure you reach 100% compliance and notify you of any changes that need to be taken on board.

Healthier Business also provide free support to all our clients working within the framework agreements if you require advise email us at nurse@healthierbusinessltd.co.uk
