Occupational Health Services

MCL Medics deliver Occupational Health services nationally through clinics, onsite visits, and secure digital consultations. Every service operates to SEQOHS standards, which means consistent clinical governance and regulatory defensibility across your entire workforce.

SEQOHS-certified support to manage workforce liability, reduce absence costs and meet your statutory health and safety duties.

The focus is always on measurable outcomes. Reduced absence duration. Faster return-to-work timelines. Fewer tribunal risks. Our clinicians think commercially because that’s what HR teams and boards actually need from an OH provider.

What your OH provision covers

MCL Medics Occupational Health gives your organisation a single point of access for fitness-for-work assessments, statutory health monitoring, clinical absence management, and independent medical advice. Every service operates to SEQOHS-certified standards and is delivered by clinicians employed within our team. You choose what you need, from a one-off referral to a fully managed national contract.

What that means for your business

Employers who treat Occupational Health as a management tool rather than a reactive cost see measurable returns. Absence duration falls because clinical triage replaces the wait-and-see approach. Tribunal exposure reduces because decisions on capability and adjustments are backed by independent medical evidence. Recruitment costs drop because pre-placement screening catches fitness issues before they become performance problems. MCL Medics clients typically see a 25% reduction in sickness absence duration within the first year.

What makes us different from other OH providers

MCL Medics is not just an OH provider. We deliver SEQOHS-certified Occupational Health, an EAPA-accredited Employee Assistance Programme, and 24/7 Remote Medical Services under one clinical governance framework. That matters because health issues do not sit in neat categories.

An absence referral might uncover a mental health condition that’s better supported through the EAP. An employee returning from long-term sickness might need phased adjustments managed by OH alongside wellbeing support from the EAP. An offshore worker presenting with a musculoskeletal complaint might need physiotherapy arranged before they return to the platform. Our integrated model means nothing falls between the cracks, and you do not pay multiple providers to manage different parts of the same employee’s clinical journey.

Every clinician is directly employed and works within our governance framework. You’re not being passed to an associate network where quality varies by postcode. That’s a deliberate decision. It’s how we’ve maintained a 96% client retention rate for over a quarter of a century.

FAQs

We help employers manage the relationship between work and health. In practice, that covers assessing fitness for specific roles, monitoring health where regulations require it, advising on adjustments under the Equality Act, and providing the medical evidence HR teams need to make defensible decisions about capability, absence, and return to work.

A GP treats the patient. Occupational health assesses whether someone can fulfil a specific employment contract and provides employer-focused recommendations. GP fit notes rarely contain the functional detail HR teams require. They’ll tell you someone is unfit for work. They will not tell you what they can still do, how long the absence is likely to last, or whether the Equality Act applies.

SEQOHS is the quality standard for OH services in the UK. It’s not legally required, but it demonstrates your provider operates to independently audited clinical governance standards. Procurement teams, regulators, and tribunal panels all recognise it as the benchmark. If you’re spending budget on OH, you should be getting SEQOHS-quality output.

Government, healthcare, facilities management, construction, manufacturing, transport, professional services, and energy. We’ve worked in high-regulation, complex environments for over 25 years and our model scales from 200-person SMEs to multi-site national contracts.

For a straightforward delivery model, we can be operational within two to four weeks. Complex, multi-site service delivery model typically takes four to eight weeks including clinical protocol design and system integration.

Both. If you need a single Management Referral, a one-off health surveillance session or a pre-placement screen for one candidate, we can help without any contract commitment. Many clients start with a one-off service and move to a retained arrangement once they’ve experienced the quality.
