Occupational health assessment for work

3 replies

I have agreed to an occupational health assessment due to my high sickness levels this year. I work part time, 21 hours a week. I think I have had a about 22 days sick leave this year, the majority of this was taken after I had my miscarriage earlier on this year ( at 16 weeks). I am pregnant again ( 11 weeks) and have just taken another 5 days off because I have ongoing sinus problems/earinfection that will not go away. (leaving me with reduced hearing and feeling of pressure in my head). I am planning to go back to work next week whether I am better or not to see how I cope. I am just wondering what the health assesment is going to involve and what questions they will ask me? ANy advice appreciated.

Would really like some advice on this. Has any one out there had one occupational health assessment for work ? What are they like?
My appointment is tomorrow. Am getting a bit nervous.

I have but mine was for longterm/permanent problems

It's just like telling a new doctor about it all (again - in my case)

It wasn't stressful...but I knew that they couldn't terminate my contract (civil service are not allowed to)

Good luck - you problems are short term, so you should be OK
