Immunisations
We provide a cost effective service designed to meet the needs of your organisation. We can assist clients with immunisation programmes, policies and advice.
Higher risk occupations
Occupations that are at a higher risk from blood borne viruses include:
- A range of healthcare staff such as nurses, physicians and emergency service staff
- Needle exchange services
- Embalming/crematorium/mortuary workers
- Laboratory technicians
- Council workers: park workers, street cleaners, refuse disposal
- Prison and detention services
- Tattooing and body piercing
- Social services
- Plumbing and sewage process workers
The need for immunisation should be determined by risk assessment as required under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002.
As an employer you need to assess the risk of the employee coming into contact with biological agents that may cause ill health, the severity of the illness should infection occur and the control measures already in place.
What are the benefits to you?
- Tailored immunisation programme that minimises loss of working time
- Compliance with current legislation and guidance
- Reduced risk and cost of sickness absence
- Healthier workforce
We also provide flu immunisation programmes both at our clinics and at your premises.
