Is your GP recommending a specialist referral for workplace health concerns?
Sometimes health issues affect work performance or safety and require expert opinion. An occupational health referral helps clarify diagnosis, explore functional limitations, and guide appropriate workplace adjustments or specialist care.
Are you struggling with a health condition that impacts your ability to work?
Persistent symptoms — such as fatigue, pain, breathlessness or stress — may affect your effectiveness at work. A referral to occupational health provides deeper assessment of how your condition interacts with job demands and what support you may need.
Has your employer asked for an occupational health opinion?
Employers often request occupational health referrals when there are concerns about fitness to work, performance, or workplace wellbeing. This service ensures a structured, expert review to support HR and employee needs.
Do you need a formal report for workplace adjustments, redeployment, or reasonable modifications?
When health affects job tasks, clear recommendations are needed. Occupational health referrals include detailed reports that help determine reasonable adjustments, modified duties, or tailored work plans.
Are you experiencing stress, anxiety or mental health challenges at work?
Work‑related stress, burnout or mental health concerns can impact wellbeing and job performance. Occupational health referrals assess these in context and recommend strategies, support services, or further specialist involvement.
Do you want reassurance about how your health affects workplace safety and capability?
Some conditions — whether musculoskeletal, chronic illness or cognitive symptoms — can affect safety or functional performance. Occupational health referral provides expert evaluation of risks and suitability for job tasks.
