construction services

We are proud to announce that we are the first occupational health provider in the UK to become fully accredited and able to provide medical services under the Fitness for Task Standards for the construction industry.

Healthcare Connections (HCC) is a forward-thinking occupational health provider. Established in 1996, by co-founders Alison Brown and Cecile Hiney, we specialise in employment medical programmes, preventative health schemes and drug & alcohol sample collection services. Our extensive range of medical services is constantly growing and we are never short of ideas to make life easier for our clients and patients alike. HCC serves clients from many varied industries, these include: construction, rail, transportation, aviation, telecoms, finance, road haulage & public utility sectors. We have a specialist rail industry knowledge, which has been bolstered by providing a continued occupational health service to Network Rail, from 2003 to present. HCC’s extensive client list includes several well-known BlueChip and FTSE100 companies.

The new standard has been issued by Constructing Better Health.
