Temporary Pause on Medicals

We regret to announce that due to the recent retirement of Dr McLoughlin and whilst we are in the process of inducting our new GPs, we have had no choice but to put a temporary pause on occupational and leisure related medical assessments. At present, we are hoping to begin providing these again from the beginning of June but this is still subject to change.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause, and recommend that anyone who needs a Medical of this nature during this timeframe seeks them out through a private hospital or other organisation. Thank you for your understanding.
