COVID-19
Templar Medical can help your organisation to manage, both during and after the Covid-19 Pandemic. From risk assessment, testing and control measures, to sickness absence and return to work.
The Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has changed the world as we know it, from social distancing, self-isolation and lockdown to furloughing, testing and sickness absence. Although the pandemic has brought with it many selfless acts and human courage it has also led to fear, panic and confusion, and a language of graphs and ‘R’ numbers. There is information and disinformation regarding many elements of controlling the pandemic, from testing to the wearing of PPE.
During this time Dr David Carey volunteered to re-join the NHS and was asked to work at the Nightingale, London (he was ‘stood down’ from the Nightingale shortly before it closed its doors).Therefore he decided to contribute his services to the local community. Accordingly, he continued to advise organisations regarding the pandemic, and as part of that process evaluated and sourced serology (antibody) testing kits from the USA. Templar Medical offers these tests on a consultation, not-for-profit basis, asking for a donation to cover the cost of the test and contribute towards a further test for another key worker.
All testing does not replace a need for a workplace assessment and control.
‘Your expectations exceeded’
Templar Medical’s Director, Dr David Carey is a consultant doctor and qualified barrister, with a background in the military. His standards are exacting and because his background is military so is his ethos and that of Templar Medical. Put simply we’re here to deliver.
You can expect: a deep, specialist knowledge; a personal and personable approach; absolute professionalism; enough time set aside to deal with your case; and a frank, straight-talking approach.
You’ll be dealing with David directly at consultant level. However, since Templar Medical has access to a number of affiliate consultants (for example, in cardiology, ophthalmology or ENT) we can bring these specialists ‘on-board’ should their expertise help your particular situation.
Specialist medicals
All specialist medicals are conducted by Dr Carey who is a professional pilot, experienced diver, MSA qualified driver and has worked in the off-shore industry. So we understand your job-role.
We also appreciate that individuals can be anxious regarding their medical and for that reason we ensure that the your medical is conducted in a peaceful and comfortable environment. You will never be kept waiting in a waiting room, and we’re generous with our time so you won’t feel you're being ‘processed’.

Medico-legal
Expert Witness
David receives instructions from solicitors regarding Non-Freezing Cold Injury (NFCI), Aviation Medicine and general military medical claims. Due to his background in military occupational medicine David is well placed to advise with regard to the complexities of the military medical process from medical grading to medical boards.
David also has a degree in law (LLB) and is a qualified (not registered) Barrister, having been called to the Bar in 2016. Therefore he understands the importance of CPR Part 35 compliant reports, and can liaise with solicitors and barristers ‘on their level’. He is also CUBS qualified and a member of the EWI.
Mediation
David trained in mediation with the ADRg and his mediation skill was recognised when he won the UK Best Mediation Advocate in 2016, against solicitors and barristers from various firms and chambers.
Occupational health
Occupational health services for many of the UK’s best-known businesses and for many of the least known SMEs.
Templar Medical offers a full range of occupational health services, and the entire process is overseen by a Consultant Physician in Occupational Medicine.
Our service is created to serve your needs, not ours. Therefore rather than try to apply a generic ‘catch-all’ fix we create a bespoke solution to meet the needs of a particular employer and their employees. As such, that solution is robust and stands up to scrutiny from regulators such as the HSE or CQC.
Over the years, we’ve handled a wide and sometimes surprising mix of assignments. Typically, we’ll be called upon to conduct medical assessments, advise on sickness absence, manage complex cases, and develop health-related policies.
Whatever your requirements contact us. You’ll be surprised how cost-effective our tailor-made solutions are compared to those offered by larger providers.

David qualified in diving over 20 years ago and has dived all over the world.

Dr Carey has become someone I really trust with my Class 1, and therefore my livelihood. My annual visit is always slick and hassle free and I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring a professional medical.”
Dave Goodman, Pilot British Airways
David is an excellent and very knowledgeable consultant who made me feel at ease during my Aviation Class 1 medical revalidation. He provided a very thorough examination, yet still maintaining a practical viewpoint on health conditions which could affect commercial flying activities. I would highly recommend David for any medical examination; the level of experience and knowledge he has is exceptional.”
Sian Richards, First Officer West Atlantic, UK
“This was my first medical renewal, with little indication of what to expect, I visited David who was extremely thorough with his examination and explanations which soon helped me to relax. David has advised and helped me through the renewal of my Austrian licence which has all been new for me. David’s professionalism and broad expertise from his many notable accomplishments leaves me with no hesitation in recommending and using him throughout my future flying career!"
