A complete Occupational Health service for bigger businesses

Maitland Medical has extensive experience in delivering occupational health services to large multi-site organisations. Our engagements vary in size but we are used to looking after staff complements well in excess of 10,000 individuals across a nationally distributed network of locations. Whether you need a medical report in the Highlands of Scotland, a vaccination administered in Wales or a nurse in regular attendance at Land’s End, we will be there to support you.

A structured approach to corporate Occupational Health

We approach large and multi-site engagements in a structured way agreeing the many inputs and outputs that will result in the occupational health provision you require and the management information needed to support it. Where possible we like to follow a 6 point ‘Route Map’ to delivery:

1. Discovery — we listen, asking you an abundance of questions and carry out a range of audits to establish a ‘status quo’ overview of your existing circumstances and arrangements
2. Scope — we’ll work with you to agree an exact brief and budget
3. Service Development — we will build a strategic time-phased action plan
4. Testing — we will test the service provision agreed
5. Launch and delivery — the entire service is launched and rolled out through the organisation
6. Report and review — we agree benchmark dates to test reporting systems and review performance

Making Occupational Health pay for itself

Our long-term objective is to ensure the service we provide pays for itself. However whilst some of our services deliver an immediate benefit, the core objective for organisations is to manage and reduce absenteeism and going forward, develop a culture of health wellbeing throughout the organisation.

Our long term ambition is to reduce absenteeism by 1% every month, month on month, for the first year. This may not sound a lot but it means that at the end of 12 months the business will enter its second year of the programme with an absentee ‘run-rate’ 16% lower than when it started. We often deliver a better monthly reduction, but firmly believe that working closely with you our best practice occupational health policy genuinely can deliver a 1% month-on-month saving.

The following figures may be of interest:

1. A 10% annual run-rate reduction needs a saving of only .68% per month
2. A 12 % annual run-rate reduction needs a saving of only .89% per month
3. A 1% per month saving equals an annual run-rate reduction of 16.8%
