I've had a couple of GP's who have phoned me to ask if I know what an individual does as a job, if they work for instance as a labourer on a road gang, which meant the GP's were happy for the individuals to return to work on restricted duties, which I arranged with their employers, rather than what their GP's may normally do, which is sign the individual off work, and then Occ health ends up getting them back to work anyway, with concerns from the individual that their GP will be annoyed that OH has over ruled the decision. This way all involved has a stake in that individual returning to work and the GP knows what actual information is required of them, this can also save time and cost for the employer as we won't necessarily need to write to the GP to get further information, and the individual can be back at work imediately.
