Pre-employment medicals in London
Medical Express Clinic delivers doctor-led pre-employment medical examinations at 117a Harley Street for companies requiring onboarding health clearance and for candidates asked to arrange their own assessment.
Every pre-employment tier includes a structured physical examination, blood pressure and pulse check, and urinalysis, and our doctor completes your employer's medical paperwork where provided.
Fixed-price packages are £210 for Standard, £349 for Standard Plus (adding visual acuity, colour vision, audiometry and a chest X-ray), £449 for Executive (adding a resting ECG and Silver Blood Profile), and £599 for Gold Executive (with a Gold Blood Profile).
Report timing depends on the selected package, employer form and any specialist investigations, and our team confirms the expected turnaround when you book.
Appointments run Monday to Friday at 117a Harley Street, London, with same-week slots often available subject to capacity.
Candidates can book any of the four packages directly online, while employers or candidates with a bespoke company medical form can email it to info@medicalexpressclinic.co.uk first or call 0207 499 1991.

Two ways to use this service
For employers
Medical Express Clinic partners directly with HR teams and occupational coordinators who need reliable pre-employment clearance for incoming hires. Sending your company form or role specification in advance lets us confirm the right tier, coordinate any imaging or lab tests, and return the completed report through your agreed corporate channel.
For candidates
If your new employer has asked you to arrange your own medical, simply book the matching tier online and bring your company forms on the day, or note their requirements when booking.
Working to a close onboarding date? Call 0207 499 1991 or email info@medicalexpressclinic.co.uk so our team can check the earliest diary slot and confirm expected report turnaround for your paperwork.
Additional tests your employer may require
When a role or regulatory specification calls for investigations outside our four core packages, Medical Express Clinic can build them into your appointment.
Additional tests may include
- Spirometry
- Stress or exercise ECG
- MRI and CT imaging
- X-ray imaging
- Drug and alcohol testing
- Health surveillance
Depending on the specification, tests take place at our 117a Harley Street clinic, on a suitable employer site, or at our nearby specialist partner imaging centre, with Medical Express Clinic coordinating the entire assessment and issuing the consolidated report.
Forwarding your employer's medical form beforehand is the simplest way to confirm all required tests and locations before booking.
Preparation and what happens on the day
On the day
Standard clinic appointments start from 30 minutes, while packages involving chest X-rays, detailed employer questionnaires or specialist tests take longer, which we confirm when your booking is arranged.

Pre-employment medical FAQs
Is a pre-employment medical mandatory?
Many employers require a medical assessment to ensure candidates are fit for the role and to meet health and safety or insurance requirements. Medical Express Clinic completes the assessment and form your employer specifies.
How long does the appointment take?
The booked clinic slot starts from 30 minutes. Additional tests, employer forms or external investigations may require more time, confirmed at booking.
When will I receive the results?
Report timing depends on the selected package, employer form and any specialist investigations. The clinic confirms the expected timing when your booking details are agreed.
Where are additional investigations performed?
Depending on the employer specification, services are delivered at the Harley Street clinic, on-site for suitable engagements or at nearby specialist partner centres. Medical Express Clinic coordinates the complete service and provides the agreed report to the corporate client.
Can I bring my own employer's medical form?
Medical Express Clinic frequently completes bespoke forms provided by employers. The form can be emailed before booking so the correct tests and appointment length can be arranged.
Which package should I book?
Match the package to your employer's written instructions. Standard (£210) covers the core examination and urinalysis. Standard Plus (£349) adds vision, hearing and chest X-ray. Executive (£449) adds resting ECG and Silver Blood Profile. Gold Executive (£599) is everything in Executive, with a Gold Blood Profile instead of the Silver Blood Profile. If the instructions are unclear, the form can be emailed before booking.
Can my employer pay by invoice?
Account management and direct invoicing are available for corporate clients, with 30-day credit terms by arrangement. The clinic can set up an account. Standard packages can still be booked online by candidates who pay at booking.
Are same-week appointments available?
Same-week appointments are often available for pre-employment medicals, subject to capacity. Call or email to discuss availability if a deadline is tight. The clinic confirms the appointment when the booking is completed.
