For advice on managing an individual’s condition, see this table.

Basic guidance on seeking help from outside professionals is available in the HSE’s free leaflet Getting specialist help with health and safety and from the Professional Organisations in Occupational Safety and Health (POOSH) website. These outline what different professionals do and how to get the most from them.
 
If you need to source local occupational health providers, your local HSE office should be able to help. Information on tax rules when purchasing occupational health support is also available.
 
If you need help with case management, more information is available from The Case Management Society UK. The Peninsula Medical School literature review Avoiding long-term incapacity for work: Developing an early intervention in primary care, provides an evidence base for early intervention in sickness absence and discusses factors influencing referrals to return to work interventions.
