Occupational Health is concerned with the effect of:
Work on Health & Health on Work
Occupational health are independent of both management and employees and are therefore able to give impartial advice to both groups to the benefit of all.
All staff have a right to work in a safe and healthy environment. To assist NHS Borders and their employees to achieve this we offer:
- Pre-employment health screening/assessment
- Immunisation of staff against infectious disease
- Management Referrals
- Health Surveillance
- Needlestick/Contamination incident advice and follow up
- Self Referrals
- Confidential counselling service
- Physiotherapy
