Bespoke Occupational Health.
Built Around Your Organisation.
Hessington Health has been providing specialist occupational health services to organisations across the City of London and the Home Counties for over 15 years. Their client base spans financial services, legal, engineering, security and education - from small owner-managed businesses to some of the UK's most prominent law firms and independent schools.
No two organisations are the same. Some require a full end-to-end occupational health solution to meet corporate governance obligations. Others need a specific service - a single sickness absence referral, a pre-employment clearance, or a drug screening protocol. Hessington Health accommodates both, and everything in between. The service is always bespoke, always evidence-based, and always legally compliant.
Through the Bloom Health partnership, this level of expertise is now available to organisations across Milton Keynes - with the accessibility and responsiveness that only a local clinical partner can provide.
Dr Rai and the Hessington Health team are recognised by several leading national law firms as experts in complex case management - a reflection of the rigour, clarity and legal robustness of their occupational health reports.
Every report produced is evidence-based, appropriately referenced and unambiguous in its guidance. Organisations working with Hessington Health receive clear, actionable advice on reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010 - without the fence-sitting that makes so many occupational health reports difficult to act on.
ICO registered. Fully compliant governance and data security infrastructure. Secure referral handling via SharePoint.
The numbers make the business case plainly.
In 2023, CIPD reported the highest sickness absence rate for over a decade - 7.8 days per employee per year. Hessington Health's own data shows that organisations working with their programmes have reduced that average to just 1.8 days. The return on investment from well-managed occupational health is measurable and significant.
A Complete Occupational Health Solution
Our occupational health services can be taken as a full end-to-end solution or on a pick-and-mix basis - entirely tailored to the size and structure of your organisation.
What You Can Expect When You Work With Us
Every organisation that works with Bloom Health and Hessington Health receives the same commitment: clinically rigorous, legally compliant, operationally responsive occupational health. These are not aspirations - they are what we consistently deliver.
Sickness absence costs UK employers roughly £495 per employee per year (CBI). For an organisation with 50 employees, that is potentially £24,750 annually - before management time, replacement costs or legal liability.
A Legally Robust Drug Screening Programme
Employees who engage in illicit drug use place themselves, their colleagues and - in certain industries - the general public at risk. For safety-critical employees, random drug testing at least annually is a legal requirement.
Whether your organisation employs safety-critical staff or not, illicit drug use within the workforce carries measurable costs: reduced productivity, increased absence, elevated liability and reputational risk. Hessington Health specialises in profiling each organisation's workforce and designing a bespoke drug screening protocol that fits.
We manage the entire random screening process - from protocol design and scheduling through to result communication and, where required, supportive management for employees who test positive. Every result is legally robust and suitable for use in performance management or legal proceedings.
Legal requirement: Safety-critical employees (SCEs) are legally required to undergo random drug testing at least once per year. Our protocols are designed to meet and exceed this requirement, with full documentation suitable for regulatory inspection.
Occupational Health Across Every Sector
Hessington Health provides occupational health services to a broad range of sectors. The clinical approach is consistent - the solution is always bespoke.
