Sherrards Occupational Health Services
How Does It Work?
At Sherrards Occupational Health, we can be commissioned to provide a fitness for work assessment in the conventional way. We pro-actively work with employers in the referral process, so that we can understand the needs of both employee and employer. We work with you to establish the most appropriate OH professional, whether Physician or Advisor (nurse). All are fully trained and qualified in occupational health practice.
Appointments are carried out by either telephone or video consultation. Occasionally, assessments are arranged face to face or onsite at the workplace. The reports we provide are clear, pragmatic and helpful.
