Injury Treatment & Management
Health for Industry offers acute injury management in many of its clinics, & we are equipped to treat most occupational injuries & illnesses. Injuries are given priority within those clinics which are situated where they are needed, in the heart of industrial hubs or CBD's, & unlike general practice clinics, we only treat workplace & occupational injuries, ensuring the highest level of expertise possible.
We also offer a 'second opinion' service to employers. This is used by some clients every time an employee suffers a work related injury or illness, & on an adhoc basis by other clients. In the majority of cases a second opinion is used to manage rehabilitation & broker a return to work between general practitioners, employees & employers. It is also used to manage employees with non occupational health problems, which may be affecting their work performance.
Health & Fitness Screening
Health & fitness programs are tailored to meet specific Company requirements. This could entail general lifestyle assessments targeting all employees, or executive health screenings to detect the risk of executives developing heart problems. Our aim is to enhance the health of employees by identifying any health problems & advising of ways to improve general health.
Overseas Travel Health Services
Pre & post travel health assessments, vaccinations & travel medications & travel health advice.
Tailored Consultancy Services
