Management Referral 101

As a manager, would you like to obtain a doctor’s opinion on a medical condition that is affecting one of your staff?

Perhaps they are taking a lot of time off and you’d like to help them reduce their sickness absence rate.

Maybe they have a disability and you want to thoroughly understand how it is affecting them, obtain ideas on how you can help improve their workplace experience, and ensure you are complying with your legal obligations under the Equality Act.

This in-depth version of our popular Management Referral Breakfast Briefing guides you through the process of submitting a well-thought-out Management Referral to Occupational Health and interpreting the doctor’s report.

Why you should attend this course:

• A poorly written referral results in wasted time, money, and opportunity. Attend this course to learn how to improve your chance of getting the answers you really need to manage your employee’s health issue.

• You will practice writing referrals with the support of a specially qualified nurse, so you leave confident that your next referral will be a success.

• The main reason why a doctor’s report may not adequately address the issues you need to manage is a poorly written initial referral.

What you will learn on this course:

• The Process: The journey your referral will take from submission to you obtaining the completed doctor’s report.

• Questions: How to phrase your questions to maximise your chances of obtaining the answers you need.

• The Law: Learn about the legal rights to privacy that your employee has, and how we help you comply with the law.
