FAQ
Questions Employers Often Ask
Something else on your mind? Call 01449 766913 or email enquiries@
What does occupational health do for my business?
It looks at how work affects health and how health affects work. We help you prevent work-related ill health, meet your legal duties and support people with health conditions to stay in, or return to, work.
Do we have to provide health surveillance?
Often, yes. The law can require it where people are exposed to noise, vibration or substances hazardous to health. Your risk assessments should show where it is needed, and we can help you check.
How quickly can someone be seen?
We usually reply within 4 working hours, and a clinic appointment in Needham Market, Ipswich or Bury St Edmunds can usually be arranged within 5 working days.
Do we need a contract?
No. We offer retained contracts and pay as you go. Many regular customers book service days a year ahead, anything from one day a year to one day a week.
How do you protect our employees’ confidentiality?
We ask for written consent before every face-to-face consultation and explain what we record and why. Employees can ask to see their occupational health records, and we are Cyber Essentials certified.

The Eastern Counties, from Suffolk to Northamptonshire and from Lincolnshire to London, and further across the UK when customers need us.
