Pre-Employment Health Assessments

All trainee doctors and dentists will require a pre-employment health assessment (PEHA) prior to taking up their first post with the Northern Ireland Deanery.

Trainees will normally only be required to have one PEHA check on entry to the health service in NI as a doctor or dentist in training. However, if there is a break in training at the Northern Ireland Deanery or a period of out of programme (OOP) an additional assessment will be required.

The Professional Support Department will contact all trainees who are required to complete a PEHA by email and will also advise which Occupational Health department they should submit their paperwork to.

Please select your allocated Occupational Health Department below for further information required for your health assessment:
