Working for Health
'Working for Health’ conferences took place in May & December 2006 and brought together GPs and employers. This document (which is a revision of the one published in May 2006) brings together some of the common issues raised by delegates about links between GPs and employers and in managing sickness absence together. It offers statements on good practice and suggestions to assist in building on and improving current procedures.

Requesting a Doctor's Report
At the Working for Health conferences employers and doctors highlighted the need for better communication. Requests by employers for medical reports from GPs were one of the many issues discussed. This paper offers some suggestions and ideas for employers about what to include in such requests.
