Occupational Health
Taking care of your most valuable asset (your workforce) depends on using a company with a proven track record in occupational health across all industry sectors. Medics UK provide Occupational Nurse specialists and Physicians where and when you need them.

Sickness Absence, Disability and Rehabilitation
Frequent, short, unconnected spells of absence may not be due to significant illness and require a management approach. Medical advice is needed in order to ensure that management action is proportionate and fair.
We can help you to interpret your sickness absence data, make sense of the stated reasons for absence and devise strategies for improving attendance.
Sickness that extends beyond four weeks is often due to more serious medical conditions that need to be assessed in order to ensure an appropriate return to work and rehabilitation arrangements.
With a detailed knowledge of different occupations, working environments and management cultures we can work with your people to resolve difficult cases and achieve a satisfactory outcome. We can provide independent medical reports and liaise with other healthcare professionals while respecting medical confidentiality.
Independent Medical Reports
When employees are suffering from illness or disability that affects their ability to work, or they feel their health has been affected by their work, it may be necessary to get some specialist medical advice.
Sometimes it is difficult to make sense of differing opinions from the employee, sick notes, GP reports and other sources.
We can arrange for a doctor to see and examine your employee, correspond with their doctor and produce a comprehensive medical report concerning their employability and any special arrangements that are necessary at work.
Consultations can take place at our consulting rooms if attendance at the workplace is inconvenient. Many employers find that, compared to the cost of extended sickness absence, this approach is very cost effective.
