Whether it’s a routine operation or emergency surgery, rest and recuperation are crucial in terms of enabling any patient to get back on the road to health after a spell in hospital. That said, there are many employees that will be keen to get back to their usual routine and return to work as soon as possible. Read on as the Occupational Health experts at YourGP offer advice on how employers can best manage that return to work and safeguard the health and wellbeing of their employees.

I had been at this practice since late 2018. The staff have been nothing but amazing! The care given here has to be the best care I’ve ever received at any practice. Very polite, greeted with a smile and always made sure you were comfortable.
The response times are extremely quick, always on that day or early next morning, pointing you into the right direction. Even if they were unable to assist, they would always make sure you knew where to go and what to do.
Your appointments are always accommodated to your needs, some imes I was unable to make my routine appointments in person so they would happily offer a Skype call which made things easier as I live a few hours away, but was always happy to make the trip when I could as it was always a pleasant experience.
I cannot thank this practice enough for the help that they gave me, I now feel confident and comfortable with myself and I would definitely recommend their services!
