Hi Karen
sorry, I can see my question was misleading
when I mean assessing fitness for work - such as in a undertaking a sickness absence assessment; and does the person undertaking the assessment need a to have a quality i.e. university based, qualification related to workplace health for example Occupational Health; Workplace Management; Workplace Health; etc...

thanks

HI Janet

Not sure if I really understand your question (it’s the word assessing) but I’ve attached a few references on HP which may help. If you want any on the pros and cons of HP then I have references on these too – just let me know. Might also be worth looking at Health and Productivity management see http://hpm.acoem.org/abouthpm.html

Dear everyone

I am trying to demonstrate that assessing fitness to work is only possible with good quality workplace health education, no matter what the initial clinical discipline the person may come from - i.e. nurse; GP; physio; OT etc. 

 

Does anyone have any references either pro or against this

 

thank you
