Partner Health was formed by a group of individuals who all believe passionately that the delivery of quality occupational health services requires not just professional competence in the clinical domain but also professional competence in customer service, human resource management, risk management, business probity and corporate governance.  These competencies are reflected in the composition of our Board which includes a HR professional and a Risk Management professional who have equal standing to the medical professionals.  These professionals are seasoned experts in their chosen fields and have a track record in delivering at the highest level to major blue-chip clients.

Partner Health resources include

• Occupational Health Advisors/Case Managers
• Client Service Executive
• HR Professional
• Risk Management Professional
• IT Manager
• Other Occupational Health Professionals available

Partner Health is uniquely structured to facilitate the integration of clinical, human resource and risk management expertise which will benefit all stakeholders who engage with it including employees, clients and third party service providers.  This unique structure sets Partner Health apart from other occupational health service providers.  It ensures that Partner Health can support its professional team’s commitment to quality and safety in practice so that clinical care and management advice will be experienced as satisfactory, consistent and responsive. It continually strives to improve performance through soliciting feedback from users, undertaking audit and responding promptly to complaints.  It also provides a learning environment for staff and encourages a no blame culture in accordance with the principles of good clinical governance.

Partner Health understands that work is good for health as long as people are well managed and workplace hazards are controlled.  Our occupational health professionals adopt certain key approaches in assessing clinical problems or resolving workplace issues: 

• Preventative and proactive: many workplace health issues are preventable with good risk management, good line management and good ergonomics.
• Objective and holistic: our occupational health professionals are trained to undertake objective health assessments. Effective solutions are not always ‘medical’ ones but with a competent occupational health assessment, timely health interventions and good communication with management, many of the non -health barriers to returning to work may be overcome.
• Rehabilitative with an emphasis on early intervention: the Irish health service is excellent at managing acute medical problems but is poorly resourced to deal with non – acute problems and rehabilitation.
