WHSS provides free and confidential advice and health support for the self-employed and people working in companies with less than 250 employees.
The service aims to help:
- employees manage their condition and remain at work
- a return to work, if a short period of sickness absence occurs
- prevent them from having further periods of sickness.
Where necessary, the programme can provide quick access to counselling/physiotherapy
Employees will be assigned a case manager to help them through the process. A case manager will:
- complete a comprehensive assessment
- develop an action plan
- co-ordinate treatment
- liaise with GPs, if required, and other relevant professionals.
The case manager may also provide signposting to services for help and advice on issues such as:
- housing
- employment
- debt management.
All treatments and interventions are delivered in local community venues whenever possible.
Employees can refer themselves to WHSS.
