I agree Jane but that's why WorkPlace
Health Connect was introduced via the HSE - its a route for smaller companies
to access information about how they do RTW via a risk assessment
process and will give them sources of local OH providers in their area
should they need further support or input.
Also providing a national OH service
somehow in conjunction with GP surgeries is something that is being considered
Kind regards
Gail
You are right, of course. But
we must also acknowledge that not all companies have easy access to OH
advisors, and so this makes their management decisions about phased returns/restricted
duties more difficult.

In the same mind - If Med 3 were completed as advised by DWP they wouldnt
have to spend so much money resigning the form itself and then could spend
the money on educating GP's and companies about OH provision, give the
GP the tools to utilise OH -
I am busy sounding off to the OH press and the BBC - isnt this an ideal
opportunity to highlight OH to the general public - come on - spend 15
minutes today! we all moan that people dont understand our role - maybe
this time because of the media attention (provided nothing major happens
and it gets knocked off the headlines!) we would have more luck with getting
the attention we keep moaning we want!
Kind regards
Gail
Listened to radio 4 and was incensed when 'some bloke' said that business's
in general either want employees backat work or still off unfit -
not my
experiences - as far as i know most practitioners are busting a gut to
get
the GP's to accept return on modified duties!

If anyone was watching the feature on BBC Breakfast programme this morning
about sick notes, I hope you were as incensed I was was!!
No mention of Specialist Practitioners or Advisors, and all the hard work
that goes on to rehabilitate employees, often DESPITE their GP!
I hope you will inundate the BBC website with comments!!!
