We can provide support with both regular or one-off Occupational Health Assessment requirements.
The process includes scheduling an assessment appointment with the employee and a written report by a qualified occupational health professional.

The process of
Making a referral
Step 1: Complete the Online Referral Form
Click the ‘Make a Referral’ button to access the secure online referral form. Fill out the form as thoroughly as possible, including the reasons for the referral in the provided expanding text boxes. You can ask specific questions you want answered, or you can choose from the list of relevant questions provided. The standard assessment fee covers up to five questions. If you need to ask more than that, additional charges will apply for the extra time required by the practitioner.
Step 2: Triage and Appointment Offer
We will review the form and then send an appointment invitation to the employee, while also copying the referrer. If the referral needs to be escalated to the Occupational Health (OH) Physician, we will discuss this with you first.
Step 3: Appointment Confirmation
Once the employee confirms the appointment, you will receive a confirmation email along with an attached invoice.
Step 4: Occupational Health Assessment
During the assessment call, it is essential that the employee has a private and confidential space to speak freely without being overheard.
The Occupational Health assessment includes a comprehensive review of the employee’s medical history to understand how it may impact their workplace role.
We do not provide translation services. If necessary, the business must arrange for an appropriate translator.
Step 5: Occupational Health Report
Following the assessment, a report is completed to offer information regarding the health concerns, advice on fitness for the work role and potential adjustments that the business may wish to consider.
The report will include information provided by the employee, shared medical letters, evidence-based medical information, employment law, and health and safety considerations.
We also discuss with the employee the importance of lifestyle factors to promote overall health, management of long-term health symptoms and well-being.
Report recommendations are advisory and can include:
- Advisory report recommendations
- Phased return-to-work plan
- Temporary or permanent role task adjustments
- Adjustment of contract hours
- Estimated return-to-work timeline
- Evaluation of potential disability criteria under the Equality Act 2010 (if requested)
Our reports are released to incorporate the GMC guidance for Gold standard practice. The reports will be shared with the employee once the invoice has been settled. They have 48 hours to request changes to any factually incorrect information in the report. No changes to the Occupational Health opinion within the report will be accepted.
Once the employee has confirmed their agreement to share the report, it will be forwarded to the referring manager. If we do not receive a response from the employee, you will be informed so you can discuss the matter with the employee.
Convenient telephone or virtual assessments are a great option, offering flexible appointment scheduling and minimising time away from work. Occupational Health assessments typically involve gathering medical history and conducting verbal evaluations, taking around 30-45 minutes.
By promoting healthy communication and collaboration between employers and employees, our assessment process can help businesses make informed management decisions that benefit everyone involved.
