Health Matters

My school want me to see the Occupational Health Physician. Do I have to go?

Short answer: YES

If a teacher is to be referred to the OHS medical adviser, it is the manager’s responsibility to ensure that the individual being referred is made fully aware of the reasons for referral.  Members should request a written explanation for the reasons for referral from their manager. The teacher will be asked to provide written consent to allow the medical adviser access to medical information from the teacher’s GP and/or consultants.
