Sickness Absence Management

The Social Security (Medical Evidence) and Statutory Sick Pay (Medical Evidence) Amendments Regulations 2010 allowed doctors to record whether a patient “may be fit for some work now” as an addition to the existing ones of “fit” or “not fit for work”.

The government’s objective is to move towards a “fit note culture” and encourage workers to discuss their return to work, therefore getting people back to work faster, following illness or injury. The regulations will allow GPs to specify whether a patient needs to consult the GP when a statement expires before returning to work.

Dr Tony Stevens, of the Society of Occupational Medicine, stated that GPs will need specialist Occupational Health advice if the government is to achieve it’s objective of helping people back to work earlier.
