Our Covid-19 Travel Testing Service ensures travellers can get the right tests at the right time and will help to keep your people travelling smoothly.

Our testing service includes:

• PCR Testing: 24–48-hour turnaround for reporting of results
• Carrying out testing on site at location (e.g. office, factory, hotel, home) if required
• Reporting of positive results to individual, client, and required authorities
• PCR test verification service through a “self-service” portal
• Management of positive patient results and treatment advice in line with country and state guidance
• Arrangement of home test kits as required

Whether you need resources to support your in-house capabilities, or need partial or full assistance with the implementation and delivery of appropriate testing. Anvil has a dedicated panel of experienced and esteemed academic and medical microbiologists and virologists.

Anvil’s online pre-employment health screening service allows us to provide an initial assessment of the general health and wellbeing of your prospective employees as part of your employment suitability criteria. Full medical assessments can then be undertaken with individuals highlighted as requiring further review. We can then make recommendations to you based on these assessments regarding the suitability of the candidate for the specific work environment they may be entering. An equivalent of this screening can also be facilitated for permanent/current employees that you may wish to retrospectively screen.

At least one in four people will suffer from a mental health issue at some point in their life and for those working away from their country of residence or travelling frequently, the likelihood of being affected is even greater. Anvil can work with you on several programmes to help identify, raise awareness of, and address mental health concerns. Via our own in-house trained counsellors and medical practitioners, we also provide 24/7 global support for employees and students who may find themselves affected or have individual concerns.

Anvil can work with you to provide a range of different wellbeing programmes for your employees aimed at improving the overall awareness of key health and wellbeing issues and the uptake of health focused initiatives. We can deliver sessions on-site on topics such as smoking cessation, men’s health, women’s health, cancer awareness, healthy eating, managing stress and anxiety.

General employee resilience training can also help significantly, teaching employees how to recognise stress factors in their lives and deal with them in the most effective way.

Video-enabled appointments attended by a fully qualified clinician to offer expert advice, treatment plans and resupply of medications for travellers and prescriptions if needed. Clinicians include doctors, nurses, paramedics or other relevant healthcare professionals.

They possess the relevant qualifications, experience and insurance cover.

In most cases, the use of telemedicine can negate the need for a more traditional ‘face-to-face’ consultation. An appropriate diagnosis and management plan can largely be formulated from a telemedicine consultation alone. In a small number of cases, patients will require further examination and/or investigations that telemedicine cannot provide. The underlying principle of involving the patient in a shared decision-making process stands true for all forms of consultations, including telemedicine.

Our video/telemedicine consultations are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England. The objective of regulation in the area of telemedicine is to ensure the same quality of care, regardless of the modality used to provide healthcare, thereby ensuring that the method of delivering care is safe and effective.

Our screening service helps to promote and protect the physical and psychological health of your international travellers (and their spouses/dependents) by carrying out comprehensive health risk assessments. These assessments provide you with recommendations on individuals’ fitness for deployment or travel and appropriate measures to mitigate against any potential health risks identified. We can also provide advice for the individuals on how to best manage issues highlighted. Further assessments are recommended during long term overseas assignments and on return from travel or overseas deployment.

Our travel health specialists will complete a full risk assessment and recommend vaccines appropriate to your travellers’ destinations and existing health status.

We can advise on medicines, insect repellents, mosquito nets, first aid and travel accessories and can put together customised kits for specific trips and requirements should your travellers need more in the way of first aid and medicines.

Our specialists can reassess the mental health of your team members during their deployment and on their return from work overseas. We can continue training – responding to any difficulties being encountered – before they head back and advise on further treatment to make sure they return to normal life without issues.
