Hi Veronica
I think that we all agree that if medical
intervention is required then it should be offered, however the first line
of intervention is her line manager to rule out or exclude other non medical
causes .
Many managers use OCC health when
they find it difficult to confront the individual with a problem.. we are
used to do the dirty work (pardon the pun)
Occupational health should be
used for real professional issues .>We can however advise and coach
managers on how to deal with such issues we should not devalue ourselves,
or the role of the manager who should be looking after the welfare of their
team
hope this helps
Julie
