Fertility and reproductive health training for HR and occupational health

Dr Sacha is a GP with a Diploma in Occupational Medicine. Her training focuses on the handover: the referral HR sends and the advice that comes back.

Where cases get stuck

Fertility treatment rarely appears on a referral. It arrives as anxiety, short absences or early-morning appointments, and many employees have not told their manager.

  1. HR refers

    Asking about the work, not for a diagnosis.

  2. Occupational health assesses

    Asking about treatment, stage by stage.

  3. HR acts

    On dated adjustments it can put in place.

For HR and line managers

What to notice, what to say and what to ask occupational health.

What they leave with

  • Referral questions for each stage of treatment
  • Adjustments with dates, such as “start before 10:30 for two weeks”
  • Records that note the adjustment, never the medical reason
  • A pause on absence scoring until occupational health has advised

For occupational health practitioners

Asking the right question and writing advice HR can use.

What they leave with

  • A direct question about fertility treatment, endometriosis, PCOS and PMDD
  • Adjustments matched to each stage of treatment
  • An employer copy of the report with no clinical detail
  • Equality Act wording that stays clinical

Both sides, one case

Employers with their own occupational health team can add a joint workshop. Managers write the referral, practitioners write the report, and then they compare.
