On-site health services

What services are available?Show all

Doctors and nurses Hide

Employees can use the service for routine medical requirements or just occasionally for advice. Bupa doctors can provide:

• appointments of 15 minutes or longer
• prescriptions
• repeat prescriptions
• private consultant referrals
• second opinions
• vaccinations
• travel advice
• dietary advice
• contraceptive advice

While respecting patient confidentiality, medical staff will liaise closely with the occupational health or human resources teams to ensure employees’ needs are understood and met.

It is important that employees maintain the continuity of care provided by their own GPs. Where necessary, and with their permission, we will write to their GP giving details of the consultation.

An on-site nurse, who is able to deliver services such as vaccinations and contraceptive advice, can support the doctor. Your organisation then benefits from a more focused mode of delivery, freeing up the doctor’s time for more one-on-one consultations.

Physiotherapists Hide

Our on-site physiotherapy service provides speedy diagnosis and treatment to your staff. Rapid referral to more specialist treatment leads to quicker rehabilitation, less time off work, and fewer ill-health retirements.

Our physiotherapists can work with your occupational health team to identify workplace problems and provide advice on how to minimise and avoid absences caused by musculo-skeletal illness.

This could involve giving display screen workstation advice, fast-tracking problem cases, advising on changes of duties or the purchase of ergonomically correct furniture.

Working together in this way, the team can record and track individual treatments and interventions. The resulting management information can be used to monitor workplace exposure to musculoskeletal risk and its relationship with medical insurance underwriting costs.

Dentists Hide

Dental problems can lead to frequent periods away from work. Regular check-ups by an on-site dentist can prevent problems and radically reduce the need to take time off.
