For those working in Scotland the Scottish Exec have recently released new
guidance
HEALTH CLEARANCE FOR TUBERCULOSIS, HEPATITIS B, HEPATITIS C AND HIV: New
Healthcare Workers
I'm not aware of any health boards fully implementing it yet but the
discussions are ongoing.
Don't have a link but if you email me off list I'll send a copy on in pdf
format.
Cheers
