Hi,
I will suggest a 'case review' meeting in some cases where there may be various opinions to take into account – this includes HR, OH, Ops person, the colleague and if they want one a rep/colleague to accompany them.
I would also propose this where there are apparent 'misunderstandings' (which are sometimes better described as porkies!!)
I do however get the colleague to consent (example attached) and explain that clinical information may be discussed if relevant.
It can be useful where required otherwise I caveat my recommendations with "assuming it is operationally feasible" and tell management its up to them to have a discussion with the colleague.
With regards,
Jane

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Return to work
Hi All,
Have had a new head of HR appointed recently, who states that where they worked before if someone needed a phased return to work it was done with the persons manager, HR person and OH person together, anyone else out there that does it that way, or like me do you do it and then send a letter to the relevant people?
Thanks,
Sue.
