Jackie,
Sorry for being naive, but what is 'oscillating plumbitis'?

Glenn,
In my previous role, I know of a GP who wrote to the company asking them
not to request that employers ask his patients to do this as he felt it
wasn't his role!!
I would though tend to agree with your views but can see that it would
act as a deterrent for those with "Oscillating Plumbitis"!
Kind regards

Hello
many thanks for the replies so far. Yes the GP's do charge and this
would
appear to be one of the reasons these notes are being asked for, in
other
words if you're 'swinging the lead' and have to go to your GP (assuming
you can get an appointment) and then pay for the certificate, then it
seems the view is you are less likely to have absence!
I've many issues with this, and I know my GP colleagues will not be
happy
about this as it is taking up clinic times for no valid reason.
To date my response when I've reviewed the member of staff has been to
inform the referring manager that this practice has not been requested
by
OH nor is it supported by OH.
I have also expressed this to HR, and obviously we have, at this point,
agreed to disagree.
regards
Glenn
