Hi

I have just been offered a job through the NHS. A medical clearance is mandatory before the job is officially mine, and Im just worried about it. I have Bipolar type two and im on anti psychotics, so I can't lie on the forms because with that on my record it is bound to be brought up.

Does anyone know if this will affect my position in anyway, or am I just worrying over nothing? The post isn't for contacts with patients (although I have worked with patients before, it wasn't through the NHS it was though University employment) and if any Occupational Health screening will cause a delay in my start date if I have to go for an interview etc?

They want me to start immediately and I dont want to piss them off
