Hi
I am in a relatively new role and home visits are the accepted norm for the
same reasons as you describe. I have agreed to be accompanied by a member of
HR/management however have stipulated when I need confidentiallity they wait
for me in the car outside the employees house. So we can discuss medical
information but I feel safe as I have a colleague relatively close by.

Dear All
Previuos OHA's in my role have attended home visits accompanied by personnel
if an individual cannot attend site. I personaly have concerns about this
due to confidentiality. Plus in some instances it rienforces the "sick
role". Where possible I do telephone consultations but sometimes you need to
see the white of there eyes if you know what I mean.
What does everyone else think and what suggestions do yo have as
alternatives.
Look forward to your answers.
