At the end of the day all you can do is take a good history as always and offer evidence based opinion.

Whatever your own opinion might be Its usually one of those that is easier to recommend, or not, in a business if you have back up of GP/Specialist reports. Advice on lifestyle and weight loss are usually relevant also as - at the risk of being cliché'd - those that request this sort of thing are often unhealthy and overweight and don't fit well into an economy class seat anyway. You then risk getting into the debate about it being hard for a regular business traveller to lose weight and change the lifestyle where they have a point but that's a whole other discussion. So much of what we do is underpinned by underlying health and attitude and this is one of those. >> >> Thanks >> >> Lindsey >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On >> Behalf Of Adel Dickinson [Huddersfield] >> Sent: 21 December 2017 09:10 >> To: [log in to unmask] >> Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Advice >> >> Good morning >> Does anyone have any advice or had any experience with employees who are required to fly long haul and them requesting to fly business class only, they state they have a high risk of DVT. Info to date (appointment yet to be completed) is Oedema and high DVT risk, osteoarthritis (had surgery to remove veins) and requires a flat bed / seat tip (only get this in business class). At this stage am yet to review but not convinced this would be a recommendation as there are several other recommendations individuals can do to help reduce risk i.e. flight socks, regular movement. However, I would like to seek the opinions of others who may have had similar cases and maybe aware of why this may be a supporting recommendation. >> Many thanks. >> >> ******************************** >> Please remove this footer before replying. >> >> OCC-HEALTH ARCHIVES: >> http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/occ-health.html >> >> CONFERENCES AND STUDY DAYS: >> http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/filearea.cgi?LMGT1=OCC-HEALTH >> >> ******************************** >> Please remove this footer before replying. >> >> OCC-HEALTH ARCHIVES: >> http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/occ-health.html >> >> CONFERENCES AND STUDY DAYS: >> http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/filearea.cgi?LMGT1=OCC-HEALTH > > ******************************** > Please remove this footer before replying. > > OCC-HEALTH ARCHIVES: > http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/occ-health.html > > CONFERENCES AND STUDY DAYS: > http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/filearea.cgi?LMGT1=OCC-HEALTH > ******************************************************************** > This email and any attachments are confidential to the intended > recipient and may also be privileged.
