Consultations

Occupational Health Consultation

Occupational Health Consultations are an essential service to actively manage
ill-health and sickness absence. In cases where there are employee health concerns, Occupational Health can assist HR and managers by discussing the issues, providing advice to help develop a reasonable management plan and undertake an Occupational Health Consultation to provide a more detailed opinion and advice.

These concerns could relate to long-term sickness absence lasting more than 4 weeks, a disability, a newly diagnosed or symptomatic health condition, alleged
work-related ill-health, and when there are, or may be underlying health issues related to poor performance and intermittent short-term sickness absence. 

In some cases, an early referral can make a significant difference to the long-term outcome e.g. psychological ill-health (depression, stress etc) and musculoskeletal injury (back pain, upper limb disorder etc). Each employee consultation takes up to one hour, enabling OH to provide a clear report and opinion on fitness for work, limitations, adjustments and rehabilitation to assist the organisation in managing the case effectively.

A core focus is on rehabilitation and what adjustments and support may assist the employee in managing their health condition from a work perspective and effective return to work if they are absent.
