Services

SMP

R-Health specialises in providing timely SMP appointments, understanding the critical role SMPs play in your organisation and the importance of promptly seeing officers and police staff. We work with 25% of the police forces in the UK and possess a deep understanding of the technical requirements needed to perform this work effectively. Additionally, we are well-versed in supporting forces with injury on duty assessments, medical appeals, fitness for duty evaluations, and liaising with HR and legal teams. Through these services, R-Health ensures that decisions regarding the health and fitness of police officers and staff are made fairly, transparently, and in accordance with legal and medical standards.

FMA

At R-Health, our FMAs are highly trained and experienced in delivering services across multiple police forces in the UK. We support medical assessments and evaluations, manage sickness absence, and provide expert occupational health advice. Unlike reactive providers, R-Health takes a proactive approach by collaborating with HR, legal, and management teams to offer training and education, ensuring a comprehensive solution. Our goal is to maintain the health and well-being of police officers and staff, meet health-related legal obligations, and ensure the force operates effectively and safely. Fitness-for-duty evaluations for firearms officers, drivers and other safety-critical roles follow the same clinical process as our wider safety critical medicals service.

Health Surveillance

Our FMAs oversee health surveillance programs within the police force, ensuring that employees who are exposed to specific risks (such as noise, hazardous substances, or stress) are regularly monitored and supported. See our full health surveillance service for the full range of surveillance programmes we run for police forces.

Psychiatry Appointments

R-Health recognises the critical role that psychiatric reports play in the ill-health process. With increasing waiting times for psychiatrist appointments through traditional channels, R-Health has established independent partnerships with psychiatrists to expedite the process, ensuring a seamless experience for your staff.
