A management referral is an occupational health assessment requested by an employer when medical advice is needed regarding an employee’s health in relation to their work.
The purpose of the assessment is to provide clear, impartial medical guidance to support management decision-making.
This may include advice on:
• fitness for work
• expected duration of absence
• workplace adjustments
• return-to-work planning
• impact of underlying health conditions
Employers typically request an occupational health management referral when:
• an employee has ongoing or recurrent sickness absence
• there are concerns about fitness for work
• a return to work needs to be planned
• workplace adjustments may be required
• a medical condition may be affecting performance or attendance
Early referral can often help clarify the situation and support a structured and effective approach.
The assessment involves a consultation with an occupational health physician.
This may be carried out:
• via video consultation
• by telephone
• in person (where appropriate)
During the consultation, the doctor will:
• review the employee’s medical history
• discuss current symptoms and treatment
• explore how health is affecting work
• consider any workplace factors
The consultation is confidential, and the employee’s consent is obtained before any report is released.
Following the assessment, a report is prepared for the employer.
This focuses on medical issues relevant to work and typically includes:
• advice on fitness for work
• recommendations for workplace adjustments
• guidance on return-to-work planning
• expected timescales for recovery (where appropriate)
• suggestions for further management or support
Reports are written in a clear and practical format, designed to support HR and management decision-making.

Employers and HR teams can:
• discuss cases directly with the occupational health physician
