I always followed the 2007 HPA guidance as below which had now ben
archived... there may be new documentation since then however as I am no
longer working in the NHS I am not sure which link to follow.
Se page 46 loosely indicates they should be considered EPP, and I thought
gynae examinations were the reason, but dealing with trauma cases might also
be a consideration.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] GP immunity checks
Dear List
Are any of you aware if and why a candidate applying for a job as a GP (not
trainee) would need exposure prone clearance if they are not doing exposure
prone work? Is there any standard or audit that requires GPs in PHC
practices to provide evidence of HIV, hep C, and HBsAg status - whether they
do minor surgery(which I beleive is not supposed to be exposure prone) or
not?
Any information or clarification on this would be welcome.
Thank you
