Safe and responsible work and travel start with a professional medical examination.

Corporate Travel Clinic supports organisations with national and international operations by providing professional medical examinations. Our examinations are carried out by experienced medical professionals and comply with applicable legislation, regulations and industry standards.

What is a medical examination?

A medical examination assesses whether an individual is medically fit to carry out specific work safely and responsibly. The scope of the examination depends on the profession, working conditions and any applicable legal or industry-specific requirements.

A medical examination may include a consultation about your health and medical history, a physical examination and additional assessments such as an eye test, hearing test, lung function test, blood pressure measurement, urine test or blood test.

Why is a medical examination important?

Medical examinations provide insight into an employee’s medical fitness and ability to perform specific duties or work under particular conditions. A medical examination may be required or recommended for:

• Working abroad.
• Roles that are subject to medical fitness requirements, whether required by law or industry regulations, such as in the maritime sector: seafarer medical examinations, offshore medical examinations, inland navigation medical examinations, Luxembourg medical examinations or diving medical examinations.
• Employers who want greater insight into the health and physical capacity of their employees, for example through a Preventive Medical Examination (PME).
• Work involving increased health or safety risks, for example through a Periodic Occupational Health Examination.

What does a medical examination include?

The content of a medical examination is tailored to the type of assessment, the employee’s role and the associated health risks. Every medical examination includes a medical questionnaire and, depending on the purpose of the examination, may also include:

• Medical questionnaire – to obtain an overview of the individual’s health and medical history.
• Job-specific assessments – tailored to the work performed and the type of medical examination.
• Consultation and physical examination by a doctor – as part of the medical assessment.
• Blood and/or urine tests – when required as part of the relevant examination.
• Vaccinations – when necessary or relevant to the work or destination.
• Skin screening – where relevant, for example for employees who spend a significant amount of time working outdoors.

We ensure that each medical examination is appropriately tailored to the role, working conditions and any specific occupational risks. The slider below provides an overview of what an appointment and medical examination may involve.
