Frequently asked question

Are my test results confidential?

The Harrow Health Care Centre runs a strict confidentiality scheme for patients. Therefore, the results of your test will never be shared with your employer if you do not give your explicit consent to do so.

What will happen to my results?

If you have given us permission to share your results, a written report will be issued to your employer. We will do our best to advise your employer whether you are capable of carrying out the specified role. If you are recovering from an illness or injury, we can also advise on when you may be able to return to work. In very rare instances, we may advise that you are redeployed elsewhere within the organisation or be considered for retirement. You may ask to see the results of your test at any time.

Friends and family welcome

You are welcome to bring a friend or family member to your consultation. If you would like us to provide a chaperone for your consultation, then please request this when booking your appointment.
