Generally I would agree with Greta but I would suggest that the question you need to ask yourself is for what purpose are you undertaking a health screen?
One possible reason for screening for instance could be to meet your obligations under COSHH, if the lecturer is exposed to a risk activity.
Best wishes,
Stuart.
