Medical Referrals

As a small, independent Occupational Health provider, we have the flexibility to offer appointments to suit you, usually within one to two weeks.

Most importantly, we ensure that you receive a consistent level of service , and that reports to you are clear, unambiguous and delivered on time. Reports are normally sent within 24-48 hours of the appointment.

We also look after all your employees’ medical records confidentially and ethically, and ensure that the process is conducted with the appropriate consents.

Who should be referred

Typically about 30 out of every 1,000 employees (excluding PHI and ill health retirement claims) will need to be referred to us for a medical report each year. We would discuss with you these trigger levels, but they may include:

Medium and long term absence
Repeated short term absence
Poor performance
Substance misuse
Pre promotion
Pre employment
Rehabilitation
Post serious accident
Self referral

Fitness to work
Restrictions on employment
Expected return to work date
Likelihood of further absence
Appropriate capability and attendance targets
