Occupational health services for public sector organisations

Occupational health care covers the effect of work on health and in turn the effect of health on work, whether you work for a local authority in an office-based post or on the front line as a firefighter or police officer.

Many local authorities are showing the way to manage the issue of sickness absence by encouraging good health and wellbeing throughout their workforces. Abermed can help with health promotion programmes and our effective sickness absence management programmes.

Abermed’s comprehensive occupational health service covers the complete range of work‐related health issues, from prevention and control measures to maintain health and wellbeing in the workplace through to recommendations on treatment and legal issues.

Our team of experienced medical professionals includes occupational health nurses and doctors, occupational hygienists, counsellors, dieticians and physiotherapists.

They can provide a flexible and individual service to help with:

• Managing sickness absence and phased return to work
• Alleviation and management of stress
• Advising organisations on Health and Safety policies
• Health promotion and nutrition and diet therapy
• Substance abuse programmes
