Service Development

Discuss with your practice team what might support you in making decisions about a patient's fitness for work.

Consider getting a member of your practice to investigate what evidence-based guidelines are available.

Consider contacting your local NHS occupational health services, to see if they can provide advice for more difficult cases. Identify the local occupational health advisors in your area (a good point of contact is the Society of Occupational Medicine, which has a regional network).
