MCL Medics delivers occupational health services to employers in Edinburgh and across Central Scotland.

Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital and the UK’s second largest financial centre, with a workforce spanning government, financial services, legal, higher education, healthcare, tourism and a growing technology sector. We deliver through our network clinic partners in Edinburgh, onsite at your premises, and by secure digital consultation. For employers needing energy-sector specific OH or offshore medical services, our Aberdeen clinic handles those directly.

Certifications & Accreditations

How we deliver in Edinburgh

Face-to-face assessments are available through our network clinic partners in Edinburgh or at your workplace. Secure video consultations are the preferred option for many Edinburgh employers, particularly for management referrals involving mental health, stress and long-term absence — which make up the majority of Edinburgh’s OH caseload. For health surveillance requiring physical testing, we arrange onsite sessions or local clinic appointments.

Sectors we serve in Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s financial services sector generates significant demand for management referrals, particularly around stress, anxiety and capability assessments. The Scottish Government and its agencies create a large public sector caseload with Equality Act considerations and ill-health retirement assessments. We also work with both of Edinburgh’s universities, NHS Lothian, construction firms working on the city’s development pipeline and hospitality and tourism employers who need pre-placement screening and absence management support.

Why employers in Edinburgh choose MCL Medics

Edinburgh employers in financial services and government often need occupational health that handles sensitive, high-profile cases with discretion. Our clinicians produce reports that are written for HR decision-makers, not for other clinicians. Clear recommendations, functional language, direct answers to your referral questions. For public sector employers, we understand the specific pension scheme requirements for ill-health retirement and the Equality Act considerations that shape capability processes.

National reach, local delivery

MCL Medics is a UK-wide occupational health provider with clinics in Aberdeen, Birmingham, Liverpool, London, and Manchester, plus network coverage across Scotland and the rest of the UK. Edinburgh employers get local service, but if your organisation operates across multiple Scottish cities or across the border into England, one provider handles the lot. From a 200-person Edinburgh business to a UK-wide organisation with sites in 15 cities, the service scales.
