Question re occupational health
« on: January 14, 2018, 07:10:11 PM »

Hi all just noticed that someone mentioned occupational health consultation.
What exactly do they provide is it mental health chat or similar,I'm just being nosy really as many years ago I used their services but it was to fit adaptions to my house after an injury meant I couldn't do certain things.I didn't realise that they maybe had other areas of help.thank you in anticipation xx

At my workplace they have an Occupational Health Service which is called in if you've been off sick for more than a certain length of time - purpose I think is to monitor the problem and determine whether there are measures they can put in place to make it easier for you to return to work. I'm lucky in that I work for a council (libraries) so these things are standard, not sure what you can expect with a private employer.
