Occupational Health Consultation covering Tyne and Wear
An occupational health consultation is a confidential discussion, usually followed by a short assessment, that looks at how a health condition affects someone's ability to work, and what might help. It is not a general medical check-up, and it does not diagnose or treat conditions, it focuses specifically on the interaction between health and work.
We arrange Occupational Health Consultation for employers across Tyne and Wear and the wider North East England area, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, South Shields, using remote consultations where appropriate and on-site visits for workforce programmes.
Who this is for
- HR teams and managers needing advice before a referral or a difficult conversation
- Employees invited to attend a consultation as part of a management referral
- Safety and operations teams needing clinical input on a role-specific concern
- Employers unsure whether a situation needs a formal assessment or a shorter advisory call
What's included
A consultation typically covers a review of the relevant health information, a discussion of how it affects work, and either practical advice on the spot or a referral into a fuller assessment (for example a management referral or fitness-for-work assessment) if one is needed. Where a written report is required, that is agreed and scoped before the consultation goes ahead.
