SECTION 9: Occupational health clearance certificate
Medical and dental performers applying for inclusion in the relevant national performers
lists are required to provide an occupational health clearance certificate from an NHS
occupational health provider or from a Safe Effective Quality Occupational Health
Service (SEQOHS) accredited occupational health provider. The exception being a
Memorandum of Understanding for Occupational Health Clearance for UK Dental
School graduates applying for entry onto NHS England’s National Performers List
The clearance will cover the services the performer shall provide or could be reasonably
expected to provide as a performer and will demonstrate their suitability for inclusion in
NHS England’s performers list.
Occupational Health assessment and clearance is not ordinarily required for
applicants to the ophthalmic performers list, however assessment may be
appropriate if an extended level of care is commissioned. This section will need
review when this is decided.
Employers are also expected to carry out their own checks to assure themselves that
their performers are fit to perform their duties.
Please use the look up function on page one to find your local NHS England team who
will be able to give you more details about local SEQOHS, if required.
