Default Occupational Health Checks....

I have mine on Friday and was just wondering exactly what it entails....

I assume they will weight me, check blood pressure etc and take bloods for hiv/hepc testing.

I also know they are going to give me my first lot of Hep b shots.

Does any one know what else they will check?

I had some time of work last year due to depression - the docs diagnoses reactive depression.... my dad was in intensive care, my job was insecure, my mum was making herself ill about my dad, i was caring for my nan, planning a wedding and it all got a bit too much for a while. After wards, i struggled to deal with my emotions and was recommended "anger management" (I hate that term) to help me deal with my emotions and express them in a contructive way rather than letting them build up and boil over.

do u think this is going to affect my offer? i've been totally honest on my occ health form and my docs have supported this on the form they complete saying it was "reactive depression" rather than "just depression"

Just getting so so close to my dream and to have it stripped away from me because i stuggled with some stuff a while ago would be gutting.....
