Capita Health Solutions has unrivalled experience of setting up and operating outsourced occupational health units for clients at numerous locations throughout the UK.

All of these units are staffed by experienced occupational health professionals and can provide a whole spectrum of occupational health services, from case conferencing to face to face consultations.

As a result of delivering the pre-employment, occupational health advice and fitness for work assessments through our service centre, Capita Health Solutions is able to ensure that the on-site service will be able to deliver effective input to:

• Locally based contract management
• Case conferencing
• Face to face assessments referred through the OH Service Centre
• Physiotherapy and counselling services
• Health surveillance
• Health promotion programmes
• Service seminars for managers.

Pilot Scheme Experience
Capita Health Solutions has significant experience of implementing pilot schemes using onsite occupational health clinicians. For one organisation, a clear improvement in the quality of service was demonstrated, as was increased flexibility of service delivery and greater use of occupational health advice by both managers and staff. Each area to which the pilot was introduced experienced a reduction in costs of over 70%.

The onsite clinicians participated in case conferences and feedback meetings, together with:

• Planning and delivering health promotion weeks
• Delivering relaxation classes
• Blood and cholesterol testing
• Manning an advice line for staff with health related queries.

Organisations are realising that it is detrimental to neglect to maintain its investment in the most valuable asset - its workforce.
