Our Ireland Foreign Employment Medical Test Services
At MediFit, the examination is arranged according to the written requirements supplied by your employer or recruitment agency. Tests may differ between job categories.
1. Full Medical Examination
A doctor reviews your medical history and checks your height, weight, blood pressure, pulse, and general physical health to assess your fitness for the proposed work.
2. Blood Tests & Laboratory Screening
When requested, blood tests may be used to assess:
• General blood health
• Blood glucose levels
• Liver and kidney function
• Role-specific infection or immunity status
3. Chest X-ray & Tuberculosis Assessment
A chest X-ray or TB assessment may be requested for healthcare workers, applicants with relevant symptoms or risk factors, or roles covered by specific occupational health instructions. Tell the medical team if you are pregnant or may be pregnant before any X-ray.
4. Infectious Disease & Immunity Screening
Healthcare applicants may need vaccination records or immunity evidence for conditions specified by the employer. Infectious disease testing is completed only when relevant and requested, with appropriate consent and confidentiality.
5. Urine Analysis, Vision, Hearing & ECG
Urine analysis may help identify underlying health concerns. Vision, hearing, or ECG testing can also be arranged when required for driving, machinery, clinical, or other safety-sensitive duties.
6. Doctor Consultation & Medical Certification
After reviewing the examination and available test results, the doctor completes the employer’s form or issues the requested medical report. Any certificate remains subject to the acceptance rules of the requesting employer or occupational health provider.

Employment offer or job description when available
-
Vaccination records, clinic books, and previous medical reports

Spectacles, prescriptions, and a list of current medicines

How to Prepare for the Examination
Ask whether your requested tests require fasting. Not every employment medical needs fasting, but certain glucose or lipid tests may require an overnight fast with plain water only. Continue prescribed medicines unless your treating doctor advises otherwise, and inform the medical team about everything you take.
Sleep well, remain hydrated on the previous day, avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours, wear comfortable clothing, and arrive 15 to 20 minutes early. Be honest about previous illnesses, surgery, allergies, pregnancy, and ongoing treatment. An existing health condition does not automatically mean you are unfit for employment.
