At the core of what we do, is to provide absence management advice and reports for those that have been on short or long-term absence. We also provide pre-placement and safety critical medicals for those starting new employment or undertaking a new role in the company. However, we also believe that prevention is better than cure, so we provide services that help your business avoid potential loss related to staff absence that can be avoided or mitigated against in the first place. Through health promotion, workplace assessment, vaccination and surveillance, iGP Occupational Health can help keep your business and employees healthy.
iGP Occupational Health provide absence management reports for companies who have employees on short and long-term sickness. Our experienced occupational health doctors can assess your employees health status and working environment in order to assess the expected return to work time frame. We can also suggest adjustments that may need to be made to facilitate a return to work and, if necessary, we can refer to a specialist or provide the treatment that will expedite the recovery period.
For Long Term Absence We Offer:
iGP Occupational Health work with a number of businesses who require instant feedback on staff absence, and so, we have a developed a solution whereby staff report the reason for their absence to the company's HR department or employers and then immediately to us. An advisor is then able to liaise directly with the employee on the day of their absence, offering health advice to ensure a quick and suitable return to work schedule. We are then able to report directly back to the employer with an indication of the length of absence and the likely short and long-term impact.

Absence ManagementAdding to your workforce should be a pain free and exciting prospect for any company. However, the possibility of future absence due to underlying illness or anti-discrimination legislation can increase the risk of your business paying for any prospective employees who are potentially unable to work in your company. This is where we can help.
We will analyse your job demands and working environment in order to develop clear medical criteria necessary for your company. We can then devise a pre-employment questionnaire, driven by your own circumstances & requirements, which will be completed by prospective employees to ensure they are suitable for your particular work environment.
This can also help avoid litigation against your company for discrimination against job applicants who do not fit your requirements for a particular role.*
In addition we can also offer a more comprehensive medical examination where any pre-existing health condition can be documented and used to identify any illnesses, both physical and psychological, which may affect the prospective employees' ability to do the job now or in the future. Also, by screening health and fitness prior to employment, employers are able to identify potential health problems which could assist in countering any would be ill health claims subsequently made by the employee.
*Under the Equality Act 2010, there is a legal requirement to ensure that an employer does not put any prospective or existing employee's health at risk. Therefore a sensible precaution would be for all prospective employees to have a pre-employment medical assessment prior to starting work.

Safety Critical Medicals are in-depth medicals designed to ensure anyone who may be undertaking safety-critical tasks is fit to do so. They identify any risk or likelihood of an employee developing a health problem whilst undertaking their work. They also ensure you, the company, are protecting the health of your employees by early detection of adverse changes or disease.
If you have employees operating dangerous equipment or working in high risk environments, we can either complete the standard medical template provided, your own medical template or even help you to create a specific medical screening programme based on the requirements of the job.
