The new Fit for Work service has now been launched, and GP's across England and Wales can now referred their patients. From autumn, employers can too. But what does this mean for your business and how does it work?
The Fit for Work service is not there to replace existing Occupational Health support, and the advice the service can offer will be Limited. With the advisors not knowing your company and only speaking the the individual over the telephone, they may well advise that the individual needs to speak with their onsite Occupationa Health service. Or, the service may suggest adjustments that your company cannot accommodate.
