CLINICAL ASSESSMENTS

Overview

MHM can provide individual clinical assessments at any of our clinic locations. Where more than one employee needs to be assessed, this can be conducted at your place of work.

When it is not feasible for employees to be assessed at either one of our clinics or your place of work, we will arrange for the employee to be seen by one of our specialist occupational physicians who would be selected on the basis of geographical proximity to the employee’s home or workplace.

How we differ from other providers

We take a proactive, solution focussed approach when clinically assessing employees. Rather than simply providing you with a specialist opinion on an employee’s fitness, we also focus on the actions required to return the employee back to work. This approach includes:

		determining what factors are contributing to an employee’s inability to return to work;
		managing each case to ensure that the employee is receiving appropriate and timely treatment;
		communicating with HR/line management to keep them updated on the employee’s status;
		developing rehabilitation back to work programmes to return employees to work earlier;
		monitoring the rehabilitation programme until the employee is fit to return to their pre-illness/accident position or is permanently deployed into another suitable position.

In those cases where the employee will not be fit to return to some form of work for the foreseeable future, we can provide advice concerning the employee’s ability to perform the job for which they were employed.

Mental Health Assessments

We have particular expertise in dealing with cases concerning mental well-being. Much of the firm’s work centres around assessing and assisting employees who suffer from mental ill-health such as stress, depression and anxiety, and rehabilitating them back to work.
