Our experience includes the DWP, HM Prison Service and the NHS: large, complex organisations with shift working, safety-critical roles and a strong need for clear, unambiguous fitness-for-work advice.
We combine case management, pre-placement health screening, night worker assessments and wellbeing support, all through a secure, GDPR-aligned portal that keeps each employee’s records separate and confidential.
