Occupational Health Referral If a referral is required to Occupational Health, this will be discussed with you and your Clinical Tutor or Learning Environment Leads for Trainee Clinical Psychologists. You will be referred to Occupational Health, provided by Optima. You will be offered a telephone assessment initially - please check texts and emails for appointment times and a link to Optima. These calls will be from a Private/Withheld number. Mitzie and HR will be added to the OH referrals and will receive copies of any reports. Mitzie will forward the reports to you and your University tutor who made the referral. They will then arrange a meeting with you and your tutor as appropriate.

Access to Work

Access to Work can help you get or stay in work if you have a physical or mental health condition or disability. The support you get will depend on your needs. Through Access to Work, you can apply for:

• a grant to help pay for practical support with your work • support with managing your mental health at work • money to pay for communication support at job interviews

This is the best way to fund any reasonable adjustments in the workplace that you require. It is a Government programme, and as your employee, we pay a proportion of the costs that they assess and grant. Please follow the link below for further information and apply directly.
