Julie,
We screened a number of Indian Nurses in one large intake in the summer. Nothing particularily special but TB is endemic in the sub-continent and we did turn up two proble4ms with this.
bear in mind the draft guidance on Health clearance for serious communicable diseases published by the DOH which should give you all the guidance you need together with the green book
regards

Has anyone been involved in the health screening of nurses from India prior to their arrival in the UK.
I urgently need to know if there are any inherent diseases we should be asking about.
