Session overview
Law enforcement is demanding work - physically, mentally and emotionally. Establishing medical fitness for roles within the police force is therefore a vital aspect of recruitment.
For our next ANZSOM webinar, we are delighted to welcome Dr Edward Teo, Chief Medical Officer for the NSW Police Force, who will share an overview of the medical standards applied at recruitment.
This presentation will provide insights into the key health considerations for recruits, including workforce demographics, physical and psychological requirements, and answers to frequently asked questions on common medical conditions and concerns such as medications, neurodiversity, epilepsy, vaccinations, vision and hearing.
