Most sickness absence and adjustment questions are really the same question: what, specifically, would help this person do their job safely, and for how long? Generic advice rarely answers that. A proper assessment looks at the individual role, the individual health issue, and what is realistically achievable.
This isn't a separate clinical service, it's the practical output of a management referral or consultation: recommendations you can actually put in place, phrased so HR and the line manager can act on them without guessing.
Who this is for
- Employers managing a long-term or recurring sickness absence case
- Managers who have received a report and need help interpreting the recommendations
- HR teams considering reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act
- Employees returning to work after illness or injury who need a phased plan
What's included
Following an assessment, recommendations typically cover practical adjustments (phased return, altered duties, equipment, hours), an indication of likely timescales where these can be reasonably estimated, and a review point if the situation is ongoing. Where useful, we'll talk the recommendations through with HR or the line manager directly.
