Health Issues

As a GP you may encounter patients who have become ill as a result of the work they are involved in. You should note that it is a legal requirement for employers to notify HSENI of any instances of disease or accident caused by work. This is generally known as RIDDOR.

The table below lists some common health issues and links through to the relevant area. It also contains some useful links and correspondance.
