Why Healthywork?
Many Occupational Health (OH) providers deliver an appointment by phone. Some hold F2F appointments at a clinic. This may be with an OH Adviser/OH Nurse. Then in a brief report (1-2 pages) a specialist assessment is recommended, e.g. Ergonomic Assessment, Cognitive Assessment, or Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE).
The Benefits of using Healthywork:
- Specialist assessments – we also advise which specialist assessment (from the completed Contact Form) for specific cases.
- Face to Face appointments – flexibly – at the workplace (analyse the job tasks/equipment), at the home location (home worker or long term sick) or in a local meeting room.
- Video call appointments – better than audio only – suitable apart from FCE's (test of employee’s physical abilities) and Cognitive Assessments (standardised testing) must be Face to Face.
- Employer questions are answered – within the report.
- Reasonable Adjustments (RA) are identified – for medical issues, return to work programmes, equipment, technology options.
- Employee advice provided – condition management/external info links e.g. pacing of activities for fatigue and pain.
- Detailed advice and support – an extensive report (5+ pages) to support the employer and the employee over several months.
- 25 years this year (2001 – 2026) of Healthywork delivering specialist Occupational Health Services! We are reliable and here to provide continued ongoing professional services.

A Cognitive Assessment can assess cognitive and mental processing ability in relation to demands of the job role.
A Mental Health Assessment can assess psychological issues and how their health is impacting work performance and attendance.
Health issues and work tasks are analysed in order for tasks to be performed in a more healthy and ergonomically efficient manner.
Individuals can return to or remain in the workplace, work with greater ease and independence, maximising productivity with risk of injury minimised.
