If you are referred to the Occupational Health Service

What to expect if you've been referred to the service, how the referral process works, medical confidentially and withholding consent.

Discussion with your manager about the referral

Before sending the relevant form to the Occupational Health Service your manager should discuss with you in full the reasons for the referral. This will normally be because they are concerned that health problems may be affecting you at work or preventing you from attending work.

If you feel there are any hazards or difficulties at work that are affecting you or your health, then please discuss these either with your manager, or the Occupational Health Service once referred.
