I think that the FOM has guidance on this.      Ultimately if you cannot get the notes archived they could be given to the client, to add to their GP notes. 

 

Kind regards

Dear list, fellow Occ Healthers

Sad times are happening here, this site is expected to close in 3 years, subsequently as the only in house Occ Health Professional here I’m seeking advice / confirmation that I’m thinking correctly.

As we have 2 other facilities in the UK I would anticipate that they will hold all the medical files from here. I have no Occ Health data base only an Excel Document that holds dates of medicals completed.

 

1.      Only an Occ Health Professional can box and secure notes for archiving

2.      That only a professional body can store archived OCC Health Medical notes? i.e. Company other UK site OH department archive store.

3.      If they are not stored by one of our other sites, are there any companies that do store them? I personally don’t consider this as a viable option but need to ask.

4.      All notes over 40 years of leaving date can be shredded?

5.      Employees have been asking if they are allowed to take them at point of leaving or closure. I Think not but maybe I’m wrong in these circumstances?

6.      I would be grateful of any other points that may come to mind, in the Occ Health world, that may help me in the next chapter of life that I currently find myself in?

7.      Don’t mind any questions coming through that may in turn help me?

 

Thanks for your help and advice in advance
