OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH PHYSIOTHERAPY
Advantages of Private Clinics
over the NHS
On-site clinics are best suited to companies who have employee - private insurance, or who are actively looking to improve the health and wellbeing of their workforce and thereby support the physiotherapy service themselves.
On-site Occupational Health is the most effective way of reducing sickness absence, research showing that 2.2 days sickness per employee can be saved. We have set up and managed on-site physiotherapy clinics, at several companies. These clinics have numerous advantages over the NHS, including:
- First appointment can be made within 5 working days. NHS waiting list target for 2008 is 18 weeks.
- Treatments can be as often as required
- Direct consultant referral is possible.
- X-ray and ultrasound referral.
- Reduced unnecessary referral to consultants
- Reduced sickness absence
- Less time spent away from work to receive treatment
- Internal knowledge of company-based problems
