Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] DVLA notification
Dawn
I work in a specialist team in the insurance industry with people claiming
on their employers group income support policies. We have to maintain a
relationship with the employers as our customers whilst following our
individual professional codes as clinicians. We have been looking at how we
tread the fine line between all parties which is why I'm interested to know
what others do. Can I have some more info about your study day please. Would
be good to attend if I can.

soon as they start physical activity. Also what about other risk factors
i.e. Smoking, FH, alcohol intake, stress, diet, weight....

notification of any relevant condition to the DVLA by doctors and health
professionals. This states that they must notify the DVLA when fitness to
drive requires notification but an individual cannot or will not notify the
DVLA themselves. Taking into account confidentiality and potential conflicts
with other interested parties e.g. employers, has anyone developed a policy
or template letter to notify the DVLA or the individual's GP and if so would
you mind sharing?
