As 2025 draws to a close, the latest HSE statistics reveal a stark reality:
1.9 million workers have suffered from work-related ill health in 2024/25.

These figures are a reminder of the critical role Occupational Health plays in protecting employees, reducing risk, and supporting long-term wellbeing at work. At Health Matters Occupational Health, we’re committed to helping organisations take proactive steps to safeguard their people.

If you’re planning ahead for 2026, now is the time to review your Health Surveillance, Mental Health support and workplace wellbeing strategies.

✨ Reflecting on an Incredible Year at Health Matters ✨

As we look back on what has been our busiest and most successful year yet, we’re incredibly proud of how far Health Matters (Occupational Health) has come. Over the past year, we’ve expanded our services, strengthened our team, and supported more clients than ever before — all while staying true to our commitment to quality, care and people-first occupational health.

None of this would be possible without our dedicated team, whose passion and hard work continue to drive us forward, or our clients, who trust us to support the health, safety and wellbeing of their workforce every day.

And this is just the beginning… 👀

We’re working on something big behind the scenes, with an exciting announcement coming in 2026 that will take Health Matters to the next level. Stay tuned.

Did you know that 40.1 million working days were lost due to work-related ill health and non-fatal injuries in 2024/25?

This isn’t just a statistic — it reflects the significant impact that illness, stress, and unmanaged health issues can have on businesses and their people.

🎄✨ Occupational Health Christmas Party 2025 ✨🎄

On Saturday 29th November, we held our Occupational Health Christmas Party — a fantastic opportunity to bring everyone together and celebrate another year of dedication, impact, and teamwork.

One of the things that makes our team truly special is how much they genuinely enjoy working together. Because many of our practitioners often work independently on client sites, we wanted to create a moment that brought everyone together for the festive season.

🎰♣️ So this year, we organised a casino-themed Christmas celebration, and as you can see, the festive cheer, teamwork, and energy were out in full force!

💙 Our people are — and will always be — our greatest asset.
Investing in their wellbeing, professional development, and the relationships they build with one another is at the heart of our culture. It’s something we value deeply and will continue to strengthen as we grow.

🌟 Here’s to a team that supports, uplifts, and inspires.
Together, we’re building an occupational health service grounded in compassion, expertise, and connection — helping create healthier workplaces and a brighter future for everyone.

✨ Proud of this team. Excited for what’s ahead.
