Occupational Health Service
Practical, independent support when health is impacting work
Managing health-related work issues isn’t straightforward.
You’re trying to balance:
- Supporting your employee
- Maintaining service delivery
- Making fair, informed decisions
- Reducing risk to the organisation
- Without the right guidance, it can quickly become complex.
An Occupational Health referral gives you clear, independent medical insight so you can move forward with confidence.
When to consider an Occupational Health referral
This service is designed for situations where you need clarity, not guesswork.
You might need support when:
- An employee is off sick and you’re unsure when or how they can return
- There are ongoing health issues affecting performance or attendance
- You need advice on reasonable adjustments
- A situation feels sensitive, complex, or legally risky
- You want to ensure you’re making fair and informed decisions

Through my trusted Occupational Health partner, you’ll receive a professional, medically informed report tailored to your situation.
This includes:
- Clear guidance on fitness for work
- Advice on reasonable adjustments
- Likely timescales for return (if applicable)
- Insight into how health may be impacting performance
- Recommendations to support both the employee and the organisation
The focus is always practical helping you decide what to do next.
A joined-up approach
What makes this different is the combination of Occupational Health insight + HR expertise.
Alongside the medical report, I can support you to:
- Interpret the recommendations
- Apply them in your organisational context
- Handle conversations sensitively and appropriately
- Reduce risk while maintaining a fair approach
You’re not left to figure it out alone.
How it works
The process for employee support regarding health-related work issues is straightforward and structured:
Initial discussion
We clarify the situation and determine whether an Occupational Health referral is appropriate.
Referral submission
I assist you in framing the Occupational Health referral clearly to achieve the most useful outcome.
Occupational Health consultation
The employee participates in a confidential consultation with a qualified practitioner.
Written report provided
You receive a clear, practical report with recommendations for addressing the health-related work issues.
Why this matters
Without the right input, health-related work issues can:
- Drift without resolution
- Create uncertainty for managers and employees
- Increase organisational risk
- Add to leadership pressure
Getting clear, independent advice early on, particularly through an Occupational Health referral, helps you provide essential employee support so you can act quickly, fairly, and confidently.
