No matter where in the world and what you have been doing for the past two years, things have been a frenzy of challenges for us to deal with.
There has been a significant increase in our healthcare needs and the reality of the “new normal” now includes e-mail, video and telephone doctor consultations. Getting face-to-face consultations, which many still crave for, can be difficult if not impossible. Whilst the new ways are suitable for many things, the reality is that many problems need a hands-on approach.
Here at ROC, we remain committed to healthcare the way you would like it, and offer face to face consultations, with longer appointment times, early availability and the reassurance of the personal consultation and all that brings – from hands on examination, to reading body language, all in a Covid secure environment.
These have indeed been difficult times for us all especially when it comes to work – The risks of Covid, home working, isolation, not being to see family and friends have all had a toll on our mental health.
However, we are now beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully a return to some semblance of normality. Employees are returning into offices and employers are seeking solutions to support and help staff. People are the heartbeat of the operation and looking after them makes a business efficient and thrive. Occupational Health programmes that include Mental Health and Wellbeing support services allow people to feel more comfortable in returning to the office or knowing the support is there if they are working from home.
In the news it is well publicised that the NHS is overstretched in some areas with huge backlogs and getting people back to work isn’t easy. Employees cannot get appointments, routine screening and no-urgent appointments are delayed.
In Scotland there are an estimated 115,000* work-related ill health cases annually with 53,000 new cases every year. Sadly, 59% of new or long-standing conditions are stress, depression or anxiety. This number is set to rise due to the pandemic. This is why a robust occupational health policy that combines occupational health, private health, mental health and wellbeing services will provide employers with the most effective solution for focussed case management and return to work.
