On another note I believe the contractors on your site do not have this health check as they have alternative OH providers negotiated by their various head offices.

I work for a large mental health trust and we Mantoux all new employees prior to passing fit for employment. We’ve been lucky though and no-one has yet refused one!

Dear All
 
Wonder if any of you can be of help – as you will all be aware the most recent health clearance document for healthcare workers asks that those new to healthcare are screened or can provide evidence of TB immunity at pre employment. 
 
If an individual does not have a visible BCG scar or has not provided documentary evidence of prior vaccination or positive skin test – are you carrying our mantoux Skin testing prior to passing fit for employment?
 
I look forward to hearing what others are doing.
