Our Comprehensive Occupational Health Services in London
We offer a wide range of occupational health services tailored to meet the specific needs of your business. Our team of highly qualified and experienced occupational health professionals is dedicated to providing high-quality support. Services include:
Health Assessments
Comprehensive evaluations of an employee’s physical and mental health. They can be conducted at various stages of employment, such as pre-placement, during employment, and upon return to work after illness or injury.
Occupational Hygiene Support
Our experienced Occupational hygienists play a crucial role in identifying, assessing, and controlling workplace hazards to ensure a safe and healthy environment for your employees.
Health Surveillance
This is the process of monitoring the health of employees who are exposed to potential health risks in the workplace. This process allows you to put preventative measures in place, as well as detecting early signs of work-related ill health. Our health surveillance services are based on our clients’ health risk assessments and are designed and managed in line with health and safety legislation.
Mental Health and Wellbeing Support
Our Employee Assistance Programme provides a wide range of support, including confidential counselling services to help employees manage personal and work-related issues. Our other services include:
- Crisis Response: Immediate support during critical incidents to help employees cope with trauma and stress.
- Workplace Wellness Programmes: Initiatives that take a holistic approach to mental and physical well-being and are tailored to the specific needs of your employees and business.
- Training and Education: Workshops and resources to educate managers and employees on mental health awareness and how to support each other.
- Access to Care: Convenient access to mental health professionals through onsite, near-site, and virtual care options, via our secure video app.
Workplace Ergonomics
Assessments and recommendations to improve workplace ergonomics, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Our workstation assessments evaluate an employee’s workspace to enhance comfort, boost productivity, and minimise injury risks. These assessments typically include reviewing the placement of desks, chairs, monitors, and other equipment, as well as assessing lighting and overall workspace layout. The goal is to identify any ergonomic issues and recommend adjustments to improve the employee’s comfort and efficiency.
Occupational Health and Hygiene Awareness Training
Bespoke training programmes to educate your workforce on best practices for maintaining a safe and healthy work environment.
Lifestyle Improvement Initiatives
Our lifestyle improvement initiatives encourage healthy habits among employees. These programmes include fitness challenges, nutritional guidance, smoking cessation programmes, and wellness workshops. The goal is to promote a healthier, more active lifestyle, enhancing overall employee well-being.
Sickness Absence Management
Absence Reviews (Management Referrals)
Absence reviews are conducted to understand the reasons behind employee absences and to identify any patterns or underlying issues. These reviews involve discussions with the employee to explore the causes of their absence, assess their health status, and determine any support they may need. The aim is to address any concerns, provide necessary assistance, and reduce future absenteeism, also considering the needs of your business. These assessments can be conducted conveniently via our secure video app, ensuring accessibility and efficiency.
Return-to-Work Programmes
Our Return-to-work programmes are designed to help employees transition back to work smoothly and safely after an illness, injury, or extended absence. Our programmes involve a coordinated approach that may include modified duties, flexible work hours, and gradual reintegration into the workplace. Our goal is to help employees return to work safely and effectively, reducing the risk of re-injury or relapse.
Tailored Employee Support Plans
Tailored employee support plans are personalised strategies designed to meet the specific needs of individual employees and the business. The objective is to ensure that employees receive the appropriate support to perform their duties effectively and maintain their well-being.
Drug and Alcohol Testing
Our drug and alcohol testing services help maintain a safe and compliant workplace by preventing substance abuse and ensuring that employees are fit for duty. We can deliver:
- Pre-Placement Testing: typically conducted after a conditional offer of employment has been made but before the employee starts work. This type of screening helps employers ensure that potential employees are free from substance abuse, which is crucial for maintaining a safe and productive work environment.
- Random Testing: undertaken at unannounced intervals to ensure that employees are not using substances that could impair their ability to work safely.
- Post-Accident/Incident Testing: Performed after workplace incidents to determine if substance use was a factor.
- Reasonable Suspicion Testing: Based on observed behaviour or evidence suggesting substance use.
- Return-to-Work Testing: For employees returning after a leave of absence due to substance abuse treatment.
On-Site and Off-Site Testing
Testing can be undertaken:
- On-Site: Convenient for your business, minimising downtime and ensuring quick compliance.
- Off-Site: Conducted at our clinics, providing a controlled environment for sample collection.
The laboratories we use are UKAS Accredited, ensuring that testing services meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.

How can occupational health services benefit my business?
Occupational health services offer numerous benefits to businesses, helping to create a safer, healthier, and more productive work environment. Here are some key advantages:
Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
Occupational health services help businesses comply with legal requirements and fulfil their duty of care towards employees. By meeting Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards, businesses can avoid potential improvement notices, fines and legal issues.
Improved Employee Health and Well-being
Regular health assessments, screenings, and wellness programmes contribute to the early detection and prevention of health issues. This leads to reduced absenteeism, improved employee morale, and increased overall productivity.
Reduced Absenteeism and Enhanced Retention
Effective occupational health measures can significantly reduce absenteeism due to work-related illnesses or injuries. By providing timely interventions, support, and rehabilitation services, employees can recover faster and return to work safely and promptly, leading to improved retention and reduced costs associated with hiring and training replacements.
Increased Safety Culture
Occupational health services foster a culture of safety within the organisation. By promoting safety awareness, providing training programmes, and conducting regular workplace audits, businesses demonstrate their commitment to creating a safe and healthy working environment. This instils confidence in employees and encourages a proactive approach towards workplace safety.
Cost Savings
Investing in occupational health can yield significant cost savings in the long run. By preventing work-related injuries and illnesses, businesses can minimise healthcare costs, workers’ compensation claims, and expenses associated with lost productivity due to absences or reduced work capacity.
