Occupational Health Reports for Employers

Posted on April 23rd, 2020

We have received numerous requests from patients requesting letters for their employers to demonstrate their capability to continue to work during the Coronavirus outbreak.

Unfortunately, the Doctors at the Practice are not qualified to do these assessments as they fall under Occupational Health.

There is detailed guidance for employees on the Government website including employers responsibilities to their employees:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-to-employers-and-businesses-about-covid-19/guidance-for-employers-and-businesses-on-coronavirus-covid-19

For those in the Shielded group, a letter will have been sent from either NHS Digital or the Practice which can be given to your employer.

If this does not suffice, we will (on request) provide a summary of your health record.  If this is useful please submit this request via the askmyGP link on our website.

The summary will be sent to you by email.

Stay home. Protect the NHS. Save lives
