AccessNI Clearance with Direct Medics

As the duties of a healthcare professional fall within the scope of 'regulated activities' our candidates are subject to an enhanced disclosure from Access NI, renewable annually, in order to work in healthcare in Northern Ireland. Please note that it may be necessary to undertake an additional disclosure even if you have a recent disclosure available.

Having a criminal conviction would not necessarily bar you from being offered job roles through Direct Medics, however please note we are not permitted to book you for any positions in Northern Ireland without a disclosure certificate.
