Occupational health is an important speciality of medicine not always well understood. Our focus is the wellbeing of the working population and the relation between health and work.

This podcast gives a really great overview as to why our impartial OH service is it so valuable for staff and the organisation. Give it a listen 🎧

Today we’re taking a closer look at a part of healthcare that quietly supports millions of us — yet often operates behind the scenes: Occupational Health.

The Health4Work department are experiencing a large volume of queries around measles immunity status. Please bear with us whilst we work through them, we will respond as quickly as we can.

In the mean time you may already have the information and evidence you need. Did you know that the measles vaccine has been part of the childhood vaccination programme in the UK since 1968?

If you have received 2 vaccinations for measles or MMR then you are considered immune. The evidence of this may be available on your records in the NHS app, or you can get this information from your GP. Please help us by exploring these options first, as it may mean you do not need to contact the H4W department for evidence.
