Notice Title

Provision of Occupational Health Physician for the University of Birmingham

Notice Description

The University of Birmingham's Occupational Health team (OH) provides occupational health advice to all University employees, work-relevant requirements for students (particularly research Post-grad courses) and a couple of small business enterprises with links to the University. The service is paper-light, utilising OPAS G2 software from Civica to support all record-keeping and reporting. The service commissions occupational medical services from appropriately qualified occupational physicians engaged on a sessional basis to meet customer demand.

An additional service will also be required from the provider to supply suitably matched Occupational Health Nurses at short notice when required. These services are required to continue to support the University to meet its statutory responsibilities under Health & Safety legislation and our aspirations for the Occupational Health Service to ensure that our Occupational Health offer continues to be effective and efficient in providing timely competent advice and services.
