Employers and GPs can refer individuals to Fit for Work in two ways:.

  1. an advice service providing health and work advice through a website and a telephone line
  2. a referral service providing an occupational health assessment and a return to work plan for employees who have been off sick from work, or are likely to be off sick from work, for 4 weeks or more
