All contractors working in the railway must pass a health assessment to confirm they are fit to do such work. Medicals are only accepted if they are performed by an Authorised Practitioner. Please see link below to find the nearest practitioner near you. Alternatively, we have an Authorised Medical Centre located directly below us for your needs.
