NHS Occupational health services

As well as private occupational health providers, employers can access NHS occupational health services. Web-based advice and details of the occupational health services available to businesses via the NHS can be found at the NHS Health for Work website at: www.health4work.nhs.uk

An NHS Health for Work advice line is also available on 0800 077 8844. It is primarily aimed at small businesses.

As the largest employer in the UK, the NHS now has its own network of occupational health teams called NHS Health at Work providing occupational health support for NHS employees. It can be accessed at: www.nhshealthatwork.co.uk
