Your employee\u2019s GP only has time to support their patient.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">In addition, our doctors have qualifications and experience in Occupational Medicine that GPs do not tend to have. This makes them better placed to answer your questions as they will consider the impact of their advice on your business and ensure their advice complies with employment, equality, and Health and Safety law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Unless you submit a Management Referral to Occupational Health, you will need to rely on the information your employee tells you about their condition.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-303595 kc_accordion_section group \"><h3 class=\"kc_accordion_header ui-accordion-header\"><span class=\"ui-accordion-header-icon ui-icon\"><\/span><a href=\"#can-i-force-an-employee-to-attend-an-occupational-health-appointment\" data-prevent=\"scroll\"><i class=\"\"><\/i> Can I force an employee to attend an occupational health appointment?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"kc_accordion_content ui-accordion-content kc_clearfix\"><div class=\"kc-panel-body\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-582883 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We have a detailed article addressing that question here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.occupationalhealthltd.co.uk\/blog\/employee-engagement\/\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/www.occupationalhealthltd.co.uk\/blog\/employee-engagement\/<\/span><\/a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-187764 kc_accordion_section group \"><h3 class=\"kc_accordion_header ui-accordion-header\"><span class=\"ui-accordion-header-icon ui-icon\"><\/span><a href=\"#do-i-have-to-pay-for-my-employees-appointment-with-your-doctors\" data-prevent=\"scroll\"><i class=\"\"><\/i> Do I have to pay for my employee\u2019s appointment with your doctors?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"kc_accordion_content ui-accordion-content kc_clearfix\"><div class=\"kc-panel-body\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-964004 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yes.
