Managing health at work can involve difficult questions. You may need advice about an employee’s absence, support with a complex case or guidance on workplace health risks.
The Whitehall Clinic provides private occupational health services in Leeds for employers across Yorkshire. Our service gives businesses access to an occupational health physician, with advice tailored to your organisation and the people you employ.
How can occupational health support your business?
Occupational health considers how someone’s health affects their work and how their work may affect their health.
An assessment can help employers understand an employee’s needs, consider support and make informed decisions about work. This may include advice about returning after sickness absence, changes to duties or adjustments to the working environment.
At The Whitehall Clinic, we work with businesses of different sizes and sectors, providing medical advice to support managers, HR teams and employees.
Which occupational health services do we offer?
Sickness absence management
When an employee is absent through illness, understanding how their health affects their role can help you plan the next steps.
Our occupational health service provides advice to support sickness absence management, including consideration of a return to work where appropriate.
Management referrals
A management referral allows an employer to seek occupational health advice about a specific concern.
This may involve an employee’s ability to carry out their duties, the impact of a health condition on work or the support they may need. An assessment can help clarify these questions and inform discussions with the employee.
Employee risk management and workplace assessments
We offer advice on employee health risks and workplace assessments.
Contact our team to discuss the role, working environment and concerns involved, so we can establish the appropriate scope of support.
Health surveillance
Health surveillance involves repeated health checks to identify signs of ill health caused by work. The checks required depend on the hazards and exposures involved.
It serves a different purpose from a general wellbeing check and should be considered alongside workplace risk assessment and measures to control exposure.
Speak to our team about your organisation’s health surveillance requirements and the services available.
Stress management and wellbeing support
We provide occupational health advice relating to stress and wellbeing at work.
This can help employers understand how health concerns may be affecting an employee and consider appropriate workplace support.
HR support for complex cases
Some employee health situations need additional medical input.
Our occupational health service supports HR teams managing complex cases by providing an independent medical perspective to inform workplace decisions.
Ill-health retirement and pension assessments
Requirements can vary between pension schemes. Please contact our team with the relevant scheme information so we can confirm whether we can undertake the assessment required.
Radiation medicals and travel health advice
Our occupational health services also include radiation medicals and travel health advice.
Please discuss your requirements before booking so we can confirm the appropriate service and any documentation needed.
