The role of an
Occupational Physician
Occupational Physicians are highly trained medical specialists who focus on the health of individuals and employers.
They provide opinions on the impact of medical conditions and/or injuries on an individual’s employment capacity (fitness for work, pre-employment screenings) and functional capacity (i.e. activities of daily living).
They also provide an opinion on the impacts of workplace environments on an individual’s health and well being.
In a nutshell, Occupational Physicians take a multidimensional approach to the management and prevention of illness, injury and disease for individuals in the workforce. Often the best work that an OP does is providing common sense objective solutions to seemingly insoluble and complex problems at the interface of medical issues and employment capacity.
