James,
The employee does have access to all the information. I discuss the reports
with the employee and then, together, we plan a return to work programme.
Everything is done with the employee's full knowledge and involvement.

I don't necessarily think it is about covering yourself all the time,
but it does help to be transparent in everything you do and also
encourages people to take a greater interest in their own health by
having more access to information.

I suppose it is the way of the world now. Everyone seems to be trying
to cover themselves from a legal point of view in case it comes back to
haunt them.

Margaret,
I have always obtained consent to approach GPs, Consultants etc but have
not yet had to do so for a physio helping to plan a return to work
programme.

We always get the employee to sign a consent form so that we can access
reports from other health professionals. I always thought that was the
correct way to do it.

Susan,
Are you prepared to provide us with the name of this physio please so
that those of us in the Midlands ensure that we do not use him? Perhaps
you could let me know off line if you think that is more appropriate?
Many thanks
Lynda

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Physio consent form
Good afternoon!
I have just been asked by a Physiotherapist for a consent form signed by
the employee to be sent to him, the Physio, giving the employees consent
for him to release the Physio report to me, the OHA. Apparently, this is
the "correct" way to do it and "all Physios" are doing this and I should
have known about this procedure. It is the same process as AMRA form
with regard to employees Doctors. The Physio will not release his report
to me until this is done. Furthermore, it is my responsibility to do
this and not his, which I would not have minded if he had told me of the
process in advance. I did ask why he did not ask employee to sign a form
at his assessment this morning. But it was my job to have done this!I am
now back home in the South, the employee and Physio are in the Midlands
and I now
need to "create" a form, post it to employee, employee return it to me,
signed and then I post it to Physio. Then i get assessment report to
incorporate into my rehab plan which was planned for employee to start
on Monday. Oh and the Physio will not give me any verbal feed
back/guidance
either as that would be breaking confidentiality too!The employee rehab
plan now set back and governed by the postal service! Has anyone else
out there come across this? Am i not up to date on legal practices that
i should be aware of? Any and all answers greatly appreciated! Regards,
Sue
