Occupational health support

How to request a referral for independent advice.

We want to support a healthy workforce. Giving employees access to quality occupational health advice is one of the ways we do this.

Occupational medicine deals with the relationship between your work and your health. 

How to get a referral

Talk to your local people team in the first instance about any occupational health concerns. Local people teams make referrals via Health Partners, an independent occupational health provider.

The Health Partners clinical team will decide whether you should be assessed in person or over the phone with a doctor or nurse. 

Health Partners use a secure online portal to request, collect and release medical information for employees who’ve been referred.

You can download the occupational health guide which includes a Q&A on the referral process and details of other support available.
