Occupational Health Services

Please note that your GP practice does not provide occupational health related services under its contract with the NHS. Your employer (or future employer) has a legal responsibility to provide a safe working environment. Employers should undertake a risk assessment and arrange protection for employees, including where necessary, any vaccinations. If an assessment reveals a risk, the employer has a duty to act and should make arrangements with a suitably qualified medical service to meet the relevant obligations. The GP practice is not fully aware of the situation and hazards in your workplace and does not have occupational expertise to advise on the risks involved. It is, therefore, inappropriate for them to provide the relevant risk assessment and any treatment/vaccinations and the NHS does not fund the cost of vaccinations for employment purposes. Please pass this letter to your employer should you need to do so (RTF, 47KB).
