[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2285237, member: 345386"] My thinking is that's a great idea, but the reality is it really depends on the individual's role, and therefore the environments they are exposed to, and their underlying conditions requiring the assessment. An individual with essentially no immune system, working in A&E or ICU probably has a greater risk than a person with a bit of hypertension (not trivialising the hypertension at all) working in an NHS office, well away from clinical environments. I would suggest those two profiles and risks would be very different. My feeling is, the NHS is keen to redeploy as many previously away from work in whatever capacity staff as possible, so will have to look at individual situations, rather than a tick-box, one-size-fits-all exercise. Of course, each way has winners and losers. I would still urge that you ask Health and Wellbeing (or whatever Occ Health is in your area) for both the assessment criteria and your full report, once it is complete - whether or not you get the result you want.
