HealthBridge was founded to meet a growing need in a rapidly evolving world of work: timely, expert, and accessible occupational health support without the bureaucracy, delays, or rigid structures often associated with traditional services.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the workplace has changed dramatically. Remote working, digital healthcare, and the demand for faster, more flexible support have redefined expectations.
We recognised a clear gap: individuals and employers needing swift, clinically sound occupational health advice, especially in non-safety-critical roles, without being held back by long NHS waiting times or the logistical challenges of face-to-face clinics. HealthBridge bridges that gap. We offer:
-Remote, video-based consultations using secure, GDPR-compliant platforms
-UK-wide coverage, including England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland
-Clear, tailored reports that are medically robust and workplace-relevant
Whether you're an employer needing a fitness-to-work opinion or an individual navigating return-to-work concerns, HealthBridge delivers high-quality assessments with clarity, compassion, and no unnecessary delays.
We're not confined by geography, and neither should your access to good occupational health advice be.
At HealthBridge, we don’t just complete paperwork. We help people move forward confidently, safely, and with expert support behind them.

With deep insight into both the medical and operational challenges of workplace health, he brings a uniquely balanced perspective.

All occupational health assessments are conducted remotely by a fully GMC-registered General Practitioner. These services are intended for occupational health use only and do not replace routine NHS or private medical care. HealthBridge is fully indemnified for all services provided.
Get in touch with us via email at contact@healthbridge.org.uk. We'll provide a referral form and patient consent form to get things started.
The employer, employee, or both can complete the referral form, depending on the context (e.g. employer-led fitness-to-work, or individual-led reports). The employee must complete and sign the consent form before we proceed.
Once we receive the completed referral form and consent, we begin processing your request.
If clinical records are required, the employee is responsible for requesting and forwarding their GP records directly to us. We will guide them on how to do this if needed.
We will schedule a confidential video consultation at a time that suits the individual. All consultations are conducted using secure, GDPR-compliant video platforms.
Payment is required prior to the consultation, and pricing will be confirmed during the initial contact stage. For businesses, invoicing can be arranged.
We issue a clinically robust, clearly written occupational health report tailored to your needs.
It will include medical opinion, any relevant recommendations or adjustments, and fitness-for-work advice.
Standard reports are delivered within 5 working days of the consultation. Priority or fast-track options are available on request.
HealthBridge provides independent, evidence-based occupational health assessments to support informed decisions about workplace health and safety. Our services are advisory and do not replace statutory NHS care or legal advice. Medical recommendations are based on the information available at the time of assessment and are valid only in that context.
All remote consultations are conducted via secure, GDPR-compliant platforms. Patients must provide informed consent for assessment and the release of any medical information.
Employers are responsible for implementing workplace decisions based on our clinical recommendations. HealthBridge does not accept liability for actions taken by third parties on the basis of our reports.
Please note: Remote assessments have limitations. Cases involving significant complexity or safety-critical roles may require a face-to-face occupational health review or additional supporting evidence. Where appropriate, we will advise if further assessment is necessary to ensure safe and responsible decision-making.
