Allison Chidlow – Occupational Health Advisor

(Remote site-based)

I have worked as a nurse for over 35 years and in Occupational Health for over 20! I have seen many changes and developments in the specialism over the years, not least the increase in autonomy and professionalism of OHAs and positive developments in protecting workers’ health.

Choose Occupational Health has given me the arena to continue working to the highest standards, using best practice and research based knowledge within the support of a friendly team. They have always been a professional forward thinking and progressive company to work for. As part of a team, we openly discuss any new or upcoming changes or developments within the specialism, move forwards and progress together.

The best part about my role is meeting people from all ‘walks of life’ on all levels. This may be from a friendly informal chat in the workplace with an employee about their mental health, to a larger support meeting with HR, managers and unions. I pride myself in providing sound evidence-based advice in an understandable and workable format, and feel I have done a good job when an employee returns to work successfully following my support and guidance.
