Sickness Absence Medicals

Days lost at work from staff being absent due to long term sickness or long term injury can be very costly both for small and large companies.

Most companies will have the right contained in an employees Contract of Employment to request an employee to have an Independent Medical Assessment by the company doctor. The assessment enables the company to better understand the reasons behind the employee being off work, can help recommend actions to enable the employee to return to work as soon as possible and to make changes in the workplace if appropriate when the employee is able to return.

The company doctor will typically be Occupationally Health trained and well versed in Employment legislation in particular with the Disability Discrimination Act ('DDA') & Equality Act. Companies have a legal duty to ensure that they look after the Health and Safety of their employees and claims for Unfair Dismissal can be brought against a company that falls foul of the legislation.

At Private GP Services we have 3 doctors who are occupationally health trained including:

  • Dr Julia Piper, DipOccMed
  • Dr Jeremy Fenby-Yaylor, DipOccMed
  • Dr Maureen Coggins, FFOM

We also have 5 nurses with Occupational Health experience.

If you would like one of your employees or clients to be seen by an Occupationally Qualified doctor please ring the practice on 0116 2700373 to book an appointment.

We will supply you with a full set of Management Referral Documentation to enable you to mange the process effectively with your staff.

Measles In Europe

As we write, there have been over 1000 cases of Measles in France. Switzerland and Germany also have significant problems with measles. This is because these countries do not have such good immunisation coverage as we do in the UK. By contrast there have been 80 cases in England. The most recent outbreak of measles is at Leeds University where so far 15 students have been affected. The first case was exposed during a skiing trip to France.
