4. Why this is important Health and wellbeing of staff is key to delivering improvements in quality and reduction of costs (QIPP) The potential role of Occupational Health services in supporting the Health and Wellbeing agenda is not being realised. Working in partnership (i.e. Occupational Health/HR) across organisations/health economies is the way in which we will achieve the real improvements/prizes for Health and Wellbeing. Technology enables services to modernise, improve efficiency, work together to deliver an extended range and quality of arrangements

5. The Time is now …………. Operating Framework 2012/13 “Organisations can take a number of steps to support work to improve staff health and wellbeing. These include their occupational health services are accredited to the faculty standards, implementing recommendations set out in NICE Public Health Guidance ……” Healthy Staff, Better Care for Patients and the NHS Health & Wellbeing Improvement Framework provide a model for improvement, detailing how organisations can ensure their staff have access to appropriate health interventions when required and, overall, support better staff health at work. This will contribute to achieving the Boorman ambition of reducing sickness absence levels towards 3 per cent and will contribute towards meeting the QIPP challenge.
