Your MKOH

MKOH has been providing OH services for more than 35 years across a wide spectrum of industry (commerce and the public sectors) and can thus bring the width and depth of experience and skill, together with a proactive approach to meeting your organisation’s needs.

We have been established since 1975 both as a charitable trust and since 1996 as a Private Limited Company.

MKOH works in partnership with Human Resources, Line Managers and Health & Safety teams. We aim to provide a cost effective means of meeting your legal requirements, a tailored and flexible service, full support on and off site resulting in a reduction in bottom line costs through reduced lost time in sickness absence, better staff morale, efficiency, productivity and staff turnover.

Occupational Health is increasingly becoming an important part of the management agenda in many quality organisations.

MKOH have a professional team of staff that boast many years of direct experience of delivering high quality occupational health services to a large number of organisations across the UK. 

At MKOH our team take great pride in delivering a ‘personal service’ on a National basis, ensuring client companies  are provided with direct contacts for our team (no call centres)  which in turn help us to work with your company to support and develop the OH services we deliver for you.

If required, MKOH have access to an extensive network of Occupational Health Physicians and Nurses throughout the UK and are therefore able to offer and deliver occupational health solutions, on-site and off-site regardless of location.

Every year absence from work cost the UK billions – we work with you to reduce your staff sickness absence, ensure healthy staff and generate huge annual savings for your company.

Your Team

It is part of the MKOH service philosophy that customers are serviced by the same staff, both primary and in planned back up situations.  It is essential that we do this such that a rapport can be built with the Customers Management Team and staff to facilitate a good understanding of the workplace and workforce, thus providing the platform to be effective and proactive with our Occupational health activities.

Our peripatetic teams are supported by the delivery of the customer service and administrative services from our Headquarters in Milton Keynes.  This is delivered through our Business Coordination team, Customer Management team, Finance Team and Administration Services.

The Business Coordination Team will ensure that our OH professionals are at the right place at the right time to deliver the flexible service we pride ourselves on.

The Customer Management Team will ensure that every facet of the service provided is of the highest standard and are available for discussion and advice at any occasion.

The Finance Team will liaise directly with your teams in Procurement and Finance to ensure a seamless invoicing and payment protocols are followed.

The Administration Team underpins the organisation and ensures the delivery of our Service Level Agreements specifically with regards to Individual Screening results and Management Referral reporting.

All the MKOH Occupational Health Nurses have experience in occupational health within a wide range of sectors and industries. Many have recognised qualification – Diploma or Degree level.  However, we also actively support Nurses who are new to the industry to help and guide them through their learning.

All Physicians that MKOH use, whether employed directly or whether used on an ad hoc basis, are required to have membership of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine (FFOM, MFOM, AFOM, DipOH).

As mentioned, we are able to facilitate OH Physician services in most major towns in England, with guidance, direction and final opinions etc. being provided from our own Medical Director.

Our Medical Director - Dr.J.Sorrell CStJ;BSc;MRCGP;FFOM;CMIOSH is a recognised expert in occupational health and has been an occupational physician since 1985.  He is fully qualified and appointed to act as a company doctor for the various regulatory requirements.

The Business is managed on a day to day basis by two Directors and Owners of the organisation – Nick Carter and James Blackhurst.
