Sickness Absence Assessments

Sickness absence is costly to organisations and the education sector in terms of budget, loss of productivity and the impact of increased work to other staff members. Timely interventions addressing the factors associated with the absence can lead to an earlier resolution of the absence and reduce the impact of this cost.

Our OH referral service provides full medical advice to employers for short or long term absences through in-depth assessments via online, in person or telephone.

An assessment by an OH practitioner (specialist nurse or doctor) provides a medical opinion on fitness to work and includes any temporary or permanent adjustments the company can consider to support an employee to return back to working their full duties.
