Dear Neil and list members.
Neil you don't state what her breath smells like and we know that bad breath
can be a cause of serious illness or a possible side effect of certain
medications or perhaps poor hygiene or perhaps other reasons. So already
there may be several possibilities as to the cause so perhaps it might be
worth trying to get more information and deal with it is a sensitive way has
some of us have done in the past on similar type issues.
It should be remembered that what works well for one occupational health
setting may not always work in another and as practitioners we make our own
clinical decisions every day.
Good luck
Regards from

Dear All
I have a situation where I have been approached by management to talk to a
female employee regarding the smell of her breath. They explained that
there has been many complaints from other employees and customers alike
regarding this problem.
Does anybody out there have any suggestions haow this subject could be
approached with this employee in a tactful and delicate way, without
causing offence.
Kind Regards
Neil Poole
