Occupational health
Absence management
When someone's off sick, or struggling to stay in work, we give you clear, impartial advice on what will genuinely help them back, and how to handle it fairly and confidently.
What we do
Support for health-related absence
Whether you're managing a single long-term absence or a pattern of shorter ones, our occupational health team gives you objective, evidence-based advice to help your employee recover and return to work safely.
We focus on function, what someone can and can't currently do, rather than on diagnosis. So you get practical guidance you can act on, while your employee's medical details stay confidential.
How it works
Management referrals, simply explained
A referral is how you ask us for advice about an employee's health at work. Here's what to expect.
You refer
With your employee's informed consent, you send us a referral setting out the situation and the questions you'd like answered.
We assess
One of our clinicians meets your employee, by phone, video or in person, to understand their health in the context of their role.
You get a report
We send a clear management advice report on fitness for work, likely timescales and any adjustments, without disclosing confidential clinical detail.
You decide
We advise; the employment decisions stay with you. We're here to inform those decisions, not to make them.
Getting back to work
Return-to-work support that lasts
Staying off work rarely helps recovery on its own. We help you plan a safe, sustainable return, tailored to the person and the role.
- Phased returns and temporary adjusted duties
- Advice on reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010
- Realistic, evidence-based timescales for recovery
- Early support for both long-term and recurrent short-term absence
Impartial advice, always confidential
Our first duty is to your employee's health, and the advice we give you is objective and evidence-based. Clinical details are only ever shared with their consent, and the employment decisions always remain yours.
Health. Training. Wellbeing.
