WRT immigration docs only thing they will see is your T1 visa stamp .
For first timer like you to uk , better get a latest chest xray reportr from a good hospital else they will take ur xray in the airport which is time consuming ...Also specify an adress where u will stay in UK .

TB screening is not necessary for people coming from the UAE.

More information.

A good idea is to also carry all the documentation you used to apply for your visa, on you. It's not a necessity, but if there's any doubt about how you obtained your visa, you have all the documents at hand. (Just a nice to have).
Do not send me PM's with specific questions - post question in the open forum so others can also benefit from the answers.

As Mulderpf has mentioned, carry the entire file pack you submitted while obtaining your Tier 1.
Also carry a/few copies of your CV as its a nice to have plus shows intent to applying for roles.

Honestly, other than the Tier 1 visa on your passport they legally dont need anything but these days they do ask a few questions so best to have your docs with you as that will give you and the officer peace of mind, in case of any questions I mean
