Our Services to SMEs

As specialists in occupational medicine and health & safety, we are geared to understand the health issues confronting organisations in both the private and public sectors.

Whilst we provide a service to a number of large national organisations, we specialise in providing solutions to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), most of whom do not have the back-up of in house services that exist in large enterprises. We understand the needs of SMEs, and can provide a tailored, cost-effective solution to their needs, however small. Whether it is a single medical or drug screening, or a risk assessment impacting on only one member of staff, we are happy to deliver a solution.

Where we Operate

We cover a wide area of the country: from Tyne & Wear in the north down to the East and West Midlands. Our doctors and nurses can visit your site(s) for an initial assessment – please contact us for further information. We are also specialists in providing services for the UK Rail Industry and the UK Offshore Industry. Please see the separate pages for more detailed information on these areas.

What is an Occupational Health Doctor / Nurse?

A conventional GP practice focuses on treating sick people, whereas an OH physician’s role is to protect employees from work-related injuries, and to protect employers from the risks associated with unfit or unsuitable employees.

Our doctors and nurses have an in-depth understanding of business and of how organisations operate; unlike their colleagues in hospitals or GP practices, they are specifically trained to recognise hazards in the workplace, assess health risks, and are fully aware of current UK and EU legislation concerning health in the workplace. We are members of COHPA.

Please see our Employee Health page for more detailed information.
