Sherrards Occupational Health

We launched Sherrards Occupational Health in response to demand from employers for a solutions-orientated occupational health service. It is a unique offering, providing both conventional independent medical advice, and complementing this with HR and legal advice. We believe this makes Sherrards Occupational Health the most effective provider of this service in the marketplace.

How Does It Work?

Sherrards Occupational Health can be commissioned to provide a fitness for work assessment in the conventional way.  We work with employers in the referral process, so that we can understand the needs of both employee and employer.  We work with you to establish the most appropriate OH professional, whether physician or nurse.  All are fully trained and qualified in occupational health practice.  Reports are clear, pragmatic and helpful.

An instruction to Sherrards Occupational Health may end at that point.  If however further advice is required, Sherrards Occupational Health can call on other professionals in the field of workplace mediation, HR consulting and legal to provide any complementary plan of action and advice.  Legal advice is covered by legal professional privilege and is confidential between the adviser and the employer.
