Formal workplace tests involve a Medical Review Officer, a doctor who reviews the result. Where a positive can be explained by prescribed medicine, their duty is to contact you before recording a fail.

Understand the MRO process. Free, always, at patientscann.org.uk/employment.

If you do decide to tell your employer, do this first.

Disclosure is a one-way door. Once you have told them, you cannot untell them. So before you do, get advice, from a union rep, your clinic or an employment adviser.

The free employment guide covers how. It won't cost you a penny: patientscann.org.uk/employment.
