Tuberculosis

Hospitals are now insisting on seeing documented evidence from an Occupational Health Department or General Practitioner practice showing immunity to Tuberculosis. Written evidence of a visible and palpable BCG scar and/or a positive Heaf/Mantoux test will be accepted as proof of immunity to Tuberculosis.

We require an Occupational Health/ General Practitioner certificate of a positive scar or a record of a positive skin test result and notification if you have worked in a Tuberculosis prevalent area, where HIV is also prevalent over the last three years. A TB Scar Check evidence form was included in your Registration pack for your convenience.
