Our Services

Sickness & absence management

National Britannia's occupational health professionals deliver pro-active and innovative services to pre-empt sickness absence or ensure a rapid return to work and efficiency.


This is based on early intervention to promote good health and avoid sickness, injury or stress related conditions.


We make an initial assessment of the client organisation's absence trends from existing data.


A corporate occupational health audit, identifies from employee lifestyle profiles, past sickness records or current work environments where absence risk is high.


We limit the risk through pre-employment health screening of prospective staff, the promotion of healthier lifestyles and diet among existing personnel and positive changes to current working environments to improve employee well-being.


Our teams undertake comprehensive health assessments ranging from lung function or hearing checks to blood tests or musculoskeletal issues. Tests can take place at the employer's premises or, in many cases, at our consulting rooms.


Using our systems, clients can monitor attendance and address problems and potential problems before they damage business.


This includes our 24-hour absence reporting line which compiles data and provides monthly statistics on individual, team or departmental attendance trends.


We can undertake ongoing case management of absent staff and return-to-work interviews to establish any underlying causes which may lead to further absence.


Underpinning our absent management service is the world-leading online system HEALTHcheck interactive. Using innovative software, the system delivers to successful sickness absence management by prompting the collection of regular information that allows managers to identify risks, monitor individual or group trends and take action to improve attendance and performance.
