Management referral to occupational health

Managers wishing to refer an employee to the occupational health unit must complete a management referral form (word) which captures all the information required for us to process an accurate and efficient referral.

Tab through the fields to complete electronically and ‘save as’ to own file under preferred name. This can then be emailed directly to occupationalhealth@ealing.gov.uk and copied to the employee and HR Advisor.

Address:
The Occupational Health Unit (OHU)
Carmelita House, 4th Floor, 21-22 The Mall, Ealing W5 2PJ.

Old versions of the form will not be accepted and will be returned to you, together with the new form which you will need to complete again and return.

Please read the referrals to referrals to ccupational health guidance (pdf) and occupational health procedure (pdf) before completing this form.

Please remember to mark the email as 'confidential'.

Note:

  • It is your responsibility to ensure that the manager's referral form is fully completed and sent to relevant personnel
  • The form has a pre-set number of options for you to choose from, please ensure that you select all the relevant boxes
  • Save the form as you complete it and keep a spare copy on a separate disk or PC, in case of possible corruption or system failure
