If you have a Tier 1 or Tier 2 Visa and have lived outside of the UK for a period of 12 months or more (whether continuously or in total) within the last 10 years, while aged 18 or over, we need a Police check for every country you visited/resided in.

Medical locum agencies supplying staff to the NHS are required to provide a ‘Fit to Work Certificate’ (FTW) as outlined by the Department of Health for all candidates.
In order to obtain this certificate, please complete the Occupational Health Medical Questionnaire.
Jennie Reeves Radiographers Agency works with Healthier Business. Their in-house team of Occupational Nurses are qualified to produce the required FTW certificate.
Once your proof of immunity and Health Questionnaire has been approved by Healthier Business, your FTW certificate will be issued. The cost of the certificate is £15* (payable to JRRA). The certificate will be sent to you upon receipt of payment and thereafter your annual updates will be FREE.
For more information on the Fit to Work certificate and the immunisation requirements please view the Healthier Business Health Information document.
If you are pregnant please let us know so we can issue you with the relevant documentation to complete.
Download Fit to Work Documents & Forms here: Downloads.
You will need to provide the following documentation regarding immunisations:
Results should be on letter headed paper or should be stamped, signed and dated by the person/GP/laboratory issuing the reports. Screen shots supplied by GP Surgeries are not acceptable. A declaration by your GP, stating that you are ‘Fit To Work’ will not be adequate, as the assessment must be conducted by a qualified Occupational Health Nurse.
Most doctor surgeries and clinics can perform the necessary immunisations and blood tests. However, if they aren’t able to perform the necessary vaccinations, we can recommend companies who will be able to assist you.
HIV and Hepatitis C
In line with Department of Health guidelines, JRRA is obliged to offer the opportunity for candidates to have HIV and Hepatitis C screened by our occupational health nurse and included on their Fit to Work Certificate. This includes candidates who do not perform exposure prone procedures. It is NOT mandatory to undergo screening for HIV and Hepatitis C but candidates will need to submit these serology reports if they require this service.

Radiation Monitoring
Jennie Reeves Radiographers Agency is the ONLY recruitment agency in the UK to provide Instadose radiation monitoring for all candidates.
The Instadose dosimeter is a small dosimeter based on direct ion storage technology. It is the only accredited device that enables candidates to view their radiation dose anywhere, anytime using any internet enabled computer.
This breakthrough technology provides candidates with a precise measurement of their radiation dose and includes accurate long-term exposure tracking. A built-in memory chip stores each candidate’s identity via an embedded unique serial code.
JRRA are proud to be leading the way with this new technology.
Each device requires a deposit of £65. This is refunded once the device is returned. Replacement cost for any lost or damaged device is also £65.
