An Occupational Health service is there to help you manage employees when there may be any attendance and performance issues at work as a result of a health issue. The process for seeking advice is to undertake a Management Referral. Our approach is to provide Management with definitive advice following a detailed and objective assessment to facilitate and enable a suitable course of action to be taken and to aid the managers’ decision-making process.
We provide specialist, impartial advice to help you understand the underlying health reasons behind your employees’ sickness absence or performance issues, and the practical steps you can take to help them return to work and full productivity as quickly and safely as possible.
If it is clear that an individual’s capability to return to work will remain compromised and no other alternative options within the workplace exist, a definitive employment decision may need to be considered.
Experienced in advising on both private and public service pension schemes, our Occupational Health Physicians are experts in conducting pension reviews and independent assessments for both active and deferred applicants. Providing clear, robust, evidence-based recommendations and unbiased opinions, they support your trustees to make swift, informed decisions, helping to streamline the process for all parties.
We carry out robust new starter health checks. Our clinical team provides advice in relation to the candidates’ fitness for the proposed role, their ability to provide reliable attendance and performance, whether they have any conditions which would fall within the remit of disability legislation and what adjustments may be needed.
Telephone and email support from a consultant occupational health physician is available for your Human Resource Department to discuss general occupational health issues in the business and general health and safety issues related to the health of employees.
We can support you with a range of specialist support services such as:
