Management Referral

A management referral is an independent medical assessment delivered by an occupational health professional. We provide human resources and line managers with a diagnosis and prognosis of an employee’s medical and emotional wellbeing so that you are equipped to make a business decision. The reporting can be a range of reasons such as:

  • Long-term absence
  • Returning to work after agreed long-term absence [e.g. an operation]
  • Repeatedly absent for short periods
  • Performance concerns at work and an underlying medical condition may be suspected
  • Recovering from an injury or an accident
  • Suspected of unacceptable substance use

The employee is referred for a health assessment with an Occupational Health supplier. Following that a report will be issued to the manager who made the referral and the employee too. This is to ensure complete openess of the process.

[Please note the process does not involve any treatment]

Management Referral Reports

The report will provide independent advice covering diagnosis, prognosis and recommendations relevant to the employee’s ‘fitness for work’, focusing on areas such as:

  • Ability to carry out required duties
  • Possible timed restrictions on employment due to current medical problems
  • Expected return to work date
  • Appropriate capability and attendance targets
  • Implications for the Disability Discrimination Act and adjustments advised

The average cost of a referral is £400 + vat.
