Equality Act (or DDA) Medical Assessments

There are some prescribed health conditions that are automatically covered by the new Equality Act or the old Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) but in most cases only a tribunal can decide whether the Act actually applies to an employee. However an Occupational Health professional and, in particular, an Occupational Health Physician's opinion will be taken into due consideration in such an environment.

Everwell offers Occupational Health assessments and referrals across the UK conducted by qualified Occupational Health Doctors (or Occupational Health Nurse Advisors). If so required, as part of a normal OH referral, the OH Physician will express an opinion on whether the Equality Act (or previously the DDA) would apply.  

So if you are looking for a professional opinion on whether the Equality Act will apply to your employee contact us today to arrange a local Occupational Health referral.
