People who are involved: the Health assessment team

Information about the role of the Health assessment team, who are involved when a doctor is referred to us for health reasons.

A member of the Health assessment team, called an Investigation Assistant, is responsible for organising the assessment.

The Investigation Assistant will identify two health examiners to undertake the health assessment and let you know that they will be in touch.

The Investigation Assistant will try to select health examiners located conveniently for you, but outside your current or previous place of work. 

The Investigation Assistant is also responsible for ensuring the health assessment is completed within a reasonable time-frame.
