HealthBridge was created to provide timely, expert and accessible occupational health support without the delays and rigid structures often found in traditional services.
Workplaces have changed significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Remote working, digital healthcare and the need for fast, flexible advice have become the norm. Yet access to occupational health has not kept pace.

Whether you need a fitness-for-work opinion, support with return-to-work planning or guidance through complex employee health concerns, our service provides clarity, speed and genuine clinical expertise.
