Most of my time here at work is spent on travel health. We do paper health clearance for staff travelling from UK for a short period. For those who go and stay for twelve months or more we do a full medical before they are cleared. If they are under 40yrs they only see the doc but if they are over 40 they see me first and the doc later for a medical. Most of our staff have their pprivate insurance but there is a company one as well. The company has a medical contract with St Thomas' and if at any point a member of staff is ill they can be medivacced and sent to Tommies for treatment.
Give me a call if I can be of further help.
Kind Regards
Alice

Dear List
To change the subject........................
The private company I work for will be sending more and more employees to
live and work in the Far East - Vietnam and the Guandong province in China.
They are all long serving employees and the work they do involves mainly
advising on technical production issues and training.
At the moment, they visit OH well in advance of their departure to get all
the usual vaccines for long stay, and appropriate advice on wide ranging
issues.
They travel back and forth to the Far East for some time prior to relocation
and are familiar with the local conditions. The small expat communities in
both countries support and advise each other on local issues. They are also
very good about keeping OH&S informed of any concerns.They all have private
health insurance and an emergency evacuation procedure is in place.
Is there anything else that should be considered? I would appreciate any
advice.
Kleea
