Onsite OH

MCL Medics runs onsite clinics using our own mobile units and nursing teams across construction sites, manufacturing plants, offshore supply bases, and public sector buildings. The advantage of working with MCL Medics for onsite services is consistency, the same quality standards, the same report formats, and the same clinical quality at every visit.

We bring the clinic to you. Our mobile units and onsite nurse services deliver health surveillance, vocational medicals, and wellbeing screening directly at your workplace. Same clinical standards, fraction of the disruption. Your employees are tested in 20-minute slots and back at their workstation within the hour. No travel, no waiting rooms, no half-day absences from productive work.

Service at a glance:

Service: Clinical services delivered at your premises, not ours.
Options: Mobile screening units or dedicated onsite nurse-led clinics.
Benefits: 20-minute appointments vs 3 hours off-site. Higher attendance, lower costs.
Coverage: Health surveillance, vocational medicals, pre-placement screening and wellbeing checks.

For employers managing multi-site operations, construction companies with dispersed project sites, facilities management contracts covering dozens of buildings, energy companies with onshore and offshore assets, onsite delivery is not just convenient. It’s the only practical way to maintain surveillance schedules and hit compliance deadlines without pulling entire teams off productive work.

What We Deliver Onsite

Mobile Health Surveillance

Fully equipped mobile units with sound-proof audiometry booths, calibrated spirometry equipment, HAVS screening capability, and vision testing stations. We can process large cohorts of employees in a single day. The units arrive at your site, park in your car park, and are operational within an hour. Staff rotate through in scheduled 20-minute slots with minimal disruption to shifts.

Our mobile fleet covers the whole of the UK, and we schedule around your operational requirements, not ours. For multi-site employers, we plan routes that minimise travel time between locations and maximise the number of employees seen per visit. If you’re running a construction project with a defined workforce and a regulatory deadline, we’ll build the schedule around your programme milestones.

Onsite Medical Assessments

Vocational medicals (HGV, forklift, safety-critical) pre-placement screening for new starters, and fitness-for-work reviews, all conducted on your premises. For employers onboarding large intakes, onsite pre-placement assessment eliminates the logistics of sending dozens of new hires to external clinics.

Return-to-work assessments can also be delivered onsite, allowing the clinician to see the actual workplace environment and tailor their recommendations to the real conditions the employee will return to. This produces more practical, relevant advice than a clinic-based assessment conducted miles from the work setting.

Nurse-Led Clinics

For organisations with ongoing, regular OH needs, we can embed a dedicated nurse within your premises on a recurring schedule, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly depending on your volume. The nurse conducts routine surveillance, handles walk-in health queries, supports managers with ad hoc advice, and acts as the visible face of your occupational health provision.

Having an OH professional regularly on-site changes the dynamic. Employees are more likely to raise concerns early. Managers have immediate access to clinical guidance rather than waiting days for a telephone appointment. Health issues are caught before they become absences.

Wellbeing and Health Promotion

“Know your numbers” lifestyle checks covering blood pressure, cholesterol, and BMI. Health promotion campaigns addressing stress awareness, nutrition, smoking cessation, and alcohol awareness. These sessions work particularly well in manual and shift-work environments where employees may not regularly see their own GP and benefit from opportunistic health checks during working hours.

Why Onsite Makes Sense

20 minutes vs 3 hours. That’s the realistic difference between an onsite appointment and sending someone off-site. A clinic appointment involves travel, parking, waiting, the consultation itself, and travel back. An onsite assessment involves walking to the mobile unit and walking back. The productivity saving is immediate and measurable.

Higher attendance rates. When the service is visible and convenient, people actually turn up. Off-site appointments suffer from no-shows, rescheduling, and delays. Onsite delivery eliminates the friction. Staff see the mobile unit in the car park, they attend their slot, and they’re done. Compliance rates for health surveillance programmes increase significantly when delivery is onsite.

Night shift coverage. We schedule around your operations, not the other way around. If your site runs a 24-hour shift pattern, we’ll arrange sessions that cover nights and weekends so every employee receives their surveillance regardless of their working hours.

Consistent national standards. For multi-site employers, onsite delivery ensures every location receives the same clinical standard. The same equipment, the same protocols, the same governance framework. Whether we’re testing employees in Glasgow or Southampton, the assessment is identical and the records feed into one centralised system.

Reduced no-show rates and improved planning. Onsite delivery lets you schedule specific employees for specific time slots during their shift, rather than relying on individuals to arrange and attend external appointments. The operational control is yours.

What We Need From You

For mobile units: a flat parking space with power access, close to the building where employees are based. Our units are self-contained and require minimal setup. For in-house nurse clinics: a private room with a desk, chairs, and access to a washroom. Hand-washing facilities are essential for clinical assessments.

We handle all the clinical logistics, equipment calibration, consumables, record management, and result reporting. Your responsibility is simply to schedule the employees and provide the space.

What This Means for Your Business

The productivity calculation is simple. A 20-minute onsite appointment replaces a three-hour off-site trip. For a cohort of 50 employees, that’s 125 hours of productive time saved in a single surveillance cycle. At an average hourly cost of £20, that’s £2,500 recovered per visit, before you factor in the higher attendance rates and lower no-show rates that onsite delivery consistently produces.

FAQs

Absolutely. We work around your operations, including nights, weekends, and rotating shifts. For 24-hour sites, we’ll plan sessions to capture every shift pattern across your surveillance cycle.

The same SEQOHS-accredited governance framework that covers all our services. Every clinician is directly employed and works under the same clinical protocols whether they’re in a mobile unit, at your premises, or in one of our clinics. Onsite does not mean reduced standards.

For routine surveillance programmes, we typically schedule visits four to six weeks ahead. For urgent requirements, a new contract mobilisation, an HSE inspection deadline, or a workforce expansion. We can usually accommodate shorter notice. Contact our operations team to discuss your timeline.

Yes. Depending on the test types, we can typically process 40 to 60 employees per day per unit. For larger cohorts, we deploy multiple units or schedule consecutive days. The logistics are planned around your workforce size and operational constraints.

The clinician will discuss the finding with the employee, issue a Fitness for Work certificate with any restrictions, and recommend follow-up where needed. Your HR or safety team receives a summary report. If the finding suggests your workplace controls may be inadequate, we’ll advise on the remedial steps.
