Reclaim your time
Occupational health shouldn’t eat into your week. Protect handles the admin so you can focus on the work that matters.
The hidden time spent managing occupational health
You submit a referral. Then you’re chasing the employee to respond, checking whether the appointment’s been booked and waiting for the report. Then you’re following up because the report hasn’t arrived. Then you’re explaining to a manager what the recommendations actually mean.
It all adds up. And when you multiply that by every referral, every absence case, every new starter – occupational health can quietly consume hours of your week.
Hours you should be spending on recruitment, development, engagement, strategy – the work that actually moves your business forward.
Saving you time by saving you legwork
Protect is designed to take the time-consuming tasks off your plate. You stay in control, but you don’t have to do the chasing.
We contact the employee
Once you submit a referral, we reach out directly to arrange the appointment, obtain consent and send reminders. No more chasing from your side.
We book the appointment
You submit the referral; we do the rest. We contact the employee, book the appointment, obtain consent and deliver the report. You stay informed without doing the legwork.
We deliver the report to you
Clear, actionable recommendations uploaded straight to your portal. No waiting for emails, no chasing for updates.
We answer the tricky questions
When a case is complex, our Clinical Duty team is on hand to guide you – so you’re not spending hours researching what to do next.
And there’s no more digging through email chains. No more spreadsheets tracking who’s been referred and who hasn’t. No more wondering what happened to that report from three weeks ago.
Your Protect portal puts everything in one place: referrals, appointments, reports and records. You can see the status of every case at a glance, from anywhere.
Quick OH referrals, quick actionable answers
When someone needs occupational health support, delays cost everyone. The longer it takes, the longer the absence, the bigger the impact.
Protect is built for speed:
- Submit referrals online in minutes
- Appointments typically arranged within days
- Reports available in your portal as soon as they’re complete
Early intervention means faster return to work – and less time spent managing prolonged absence.
Your time costs money
Every hour spent on occupational health admin is an hour not spent on higher-value work. And every day an employee stays off sick because the process took too long is a day of lost productivity.
Protect helps you intervene earlier, resolve cases faster and spend less time on admin – which all adds up to real savings on the bottom line.
FAQs
How much time will we actually save?
It depends on your current process, but clients typically save several hours on referral administration alone.
Do we still have visibility of what’s happening?
Absolutely. Your portal shows the status of every referral in real time. You’re always informed – you just don’t have to do the legwork.
How quickly do employees get seen?
We aim to arrange appointments within a few days of referral. The faster someone is seen, the faster you get the guidance you need.
Can managers access the system directly?
Yes. Managers can submit referrals and access relevant resources through the portal, reducing the back-and-forth.
What about complex cases that need more input?
Our Clinical Duty Manager and Duty Doctor are available to provide guidance on difficult cases – saving you the time of trying to figure it out yourself.
