Everwell Achieves SEQOHS Accreditation: A New Benchmark for Quality Occupational Health
We’re incredibly proud to announce a landmark achievement in Everwell’s history: in June 2025, we successfully secured the prestigious Safe, Effective, Quality Occupational Health Service (SEQOHS) accreditation.
This accreditation isn’t just a badge; it’s an independent, nationally recognised validation of our unwavering commitment to providing the highest standards of care, clinical governance, and operational excellence across all our occupational health services nationwide.
What is SEQOHS and Why Does it Matter?
SEQOHS is the gold standard for occupational health provision, developed and managed by the Faculty of Occupational Medicine (FOM). It sets a robust benchmark against which all UK occupational health services are measured.
Achieving this accreditation means Everwell has demonstrated excellence across a comprehensive range of standards, which are typically categorised into six key domains:
- Business Probity: Ensuring we conduct our business with integrity and financial propriety.
- Information Governance: Maintaining the highest levels of patient confidentiality and data security.
- People: Guaranteeing that our staff are competent, well-trained, and clinically supervised.
- Facilities and Equipment: Ensuring all clinical facilities and medical equipment are safe and appropriate.
- Relationships with Purchasers (Clients): Maintaining clear, professional, and ethical relationships with the organisations we serve.
- Relationships with Workers (Employees): Respecting and involving the workers we assess, ensuring informed consent and clear communication.
Simply put, the SEQOHS logo confirms that our service is Safe, Effective, and of the utmost Quality.
What This Means for Our Clients and Their Employees
For our valued clients—from SMEs to large corporate and public sector organisations—the SEQOHS accreditation provides crucial, independent assurance:
Confidence in Quality
Partnering with a SEQOHS-accredited provider eliminates risk and instils confidence. It assures you that every occupational health assessment, health surveillance programme, and management referral is delivered to the highest clinical and professional standards, fully aligned with the latest legal and professional guidelines, including those set by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Enhanced Clinical Governance
Our clients can be certain that all clinical processes, from case management to medical record-keeping, are governed by robust, independently audited systems. This commitment to clinical governance protects your business and supports your employees.
Focus on Outcomes
The latest SEQOHS standards place a significant emphasis on outputs and outcomes. This means our focus goes beyond just “doing things right” to ensuring we are “doing the right things“—delivering measurable value that genuinely improves employee health, reduces sickness absence, and boosts workplace productivity for your business.
A Celebration of Our Team’s Dedication
The journey to SEQOHS accreditation is demanding, requiring rigorous self-assessment, detailed evidence submission, and a comprehensive on-site review by occupational health specialists.
We want to extend our deepest gratitude to every member of the Everwell team—our dedicated Occupational Health Physicians, Nurse Advisors, and administrative support staff—whose tireless commitment to excellence and patient-centred care made this achievement possible.
This milestone reinforces Everwell’s mission to be the most flexible and reliable independent Occupational Health Provider in the UK. As we move forward, we are even better positioned to help our clients build healthier, safer, and more productive workplaces.
