Understanding
Occupational Health
This presentation
was compiled to give new and prospective clients a good “in
depth” insight into our role in providing a broad range
of services directed at securing the well being of all people
in the workplace by the provision of a pro-active occupational
health service. This facilitates compliance with current legislation
and investing in the company’s greatest asset, its people.
Many people
and organisations do not have a good in-depth understanding of
the role and scope of occupational health. They often perceive
the role of the doctor or indeed specialist nurse at work as that
of their NHS equivalents e.g. a GP or hospital/practice nurse.
We work
to a vision of providing a pro-active energetic enthusiastic service
with a strong emphasis on the preventative approach involving
employers, their employees and their representatives. This leads
to all people working together understanding and thereby reducing
health risks at work.
The presentation
covers all aspects of the services we provide (as illustrated
on this website) and facilitates interactive debate on issues
such as our interface with GP’s, management, human resources,
how we handle sickness absence, stress, disability and other relevant
issues including confidentiality.
Experience
over more that a decade has shown the added value of having all
of the people who can avail of our broad range of services understand
what we do and why we do it.
