OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ASSESSMENTS
Consultant-led assessments for complex workplace health decisions.
Physician-Led Occupational Assessments
Independent occupational health assessments led directly by a Consultant Occupational Health Physician.
These assessments may explore fitness for work, functional capacity, workplace impact, medical restrictions, reasonable adjustments, complex health concerns, pre-placement considerations, ill-health retirement questions and the need for further review.
Each assessment is shaped around the individual, the demands of the role and the decision the organisation needs to make.
Occupational Health for Employers
Strategic occupational health advice for employers managing sensitive, complex or high-impact workplace health situations.
Support may include sickness absence, employee capability, workplace adjustments, long-term health conditions, disputed medical evidence, management referrals, rehabilitation planning and difficult return-to-work decisions.
The focus is on giving employers clear, practical guidance without losing sight of the person behind the case.
Executive Return to Work
Specialist return-to-work support for executives and senior leaders recovering from burnout, illness, surgery, mental ill health or a significant health event.
Advice may consider readiness to return, phased working, reduced travel, workload changes, temporary restrictions, leadership demands, relapse risk and the conditions needed for a sustainable recovery.
The aim is not simply to help someone return, but to help them return well.
Retained Advisory
Ongoing occupational health advisory support for boards, founders, HR leaders and senior decision-makers.
Retained support provides continuity across complex cases and may include confidential case review, strategic occupational health advice, second opinions, leadership health risk, workplace rehabilitation and guidance on difficult employee-health decisions.
This service is designed for organisations that need trusted physician input over time rather than one-off transactional assessments.
Crisis Advisory
Rapid, discreet occupational health support when a senior leader’s health creates immediate concern for the individual or the organisation.
This may involve sudden absence, acute burnout, a serious diagnosis, uncertainty about fitness for work, reputational sensitivity, leadership disruption or pressure to return before recovery is secure.
Dr. Abeyna helps organisations understand the medical, functional and workplace implications so that urgent decisions can be made with greater clarity and care.
Expert Witness Services
Independent occupational medicine opinion for legal, employment and workplace-health matters.
Expert witness work may involve fitness for work, disability-related workplace issues, occupational health evidence, long-term sickness absence, return-to-work disputes, ill-health retirement and the functional impact of medical conditions.
All opinions are provided independently, objectively and within Dr. Abeyna’s professional expertise.

As Featured In
Three months later, he was back in the boardroom.
A senior executive stepped away following a significant health crisis.
The organisation faced growing uncertainty around leadership continuity, operational pressure, and whether returning to work at executive level would be realistic.
The situation required far more than a standard occupational health assessment.
It required:
- experienced occupational medicine
- executive workplace strategy
- careful return-to-work planning
- leadership-focused rehabilitation support
Three months later, he returned successfully — with clarity, confidence, and stability.
Because executive occupational health requires more than process alone.
