Safe Effective Occupational Health Service (SEQOHS)
Healthier Business UK Ltd proudly is the longest-established provider in our sector to consistently maintain SEQOHS accreditation since 2015. SEQOHS stands as a set of standards and a voluntary accreditation scheme for occupational health services, extending its reach beyond the UK.
SEQOHS accreditation is more than a mere acknowledgement – it formally recognises that an occupational health service provider is competent to deliver in line with the measures outlined in the SEQOHS standards. This accreditation scheme operates independently and is overseen by the Royal College of Physicians of London, appointed to lead and manage the process on behalf of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine.
As pioneers in the compliance sector, Healthier Business UK Ltd was the first to achieve this accreditation. During our assessment, our assessor commended the exceedingly high standard of our policies and processes. This sustained accreditation since 2015 underscores our commitment to excellence, marking us as the go-to provider for unparalleled occupational health services in our sector.
Alignment to the Statutory/Mandatory CSTF (Commercial List)
This meticulously designed framework ensures uniformity in statutory and mandatory training delivery. Notably, alignment with the CSTF has transitioned from a discretionary practice to a compulsory prerequisite for key staff procurement frameworks.
The significance lies in the fact that training validated as CSTF-aligned is paramount for employer organisations. It is a hallmark, attesting compliance with the Statutory/Mandatory CSTF. This alignment, in turn, serves as a potent strategy to curtail unnecessary redundancy in training procedures when personnel transition between roles and organisations.
An essential update for 2021 and beyond is the modification in the CSTF’s approach towards verifying commercial lists for approved suppliers. The paradigm has shifted towards self-certification and alignment, emerging as the fundamental requirement for adherence to the CSTF standards.
CPD Standards
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a strategic approach to intentionally cultivating knowledge and skills for optimal performance in a professional setting. Envision it as a roadmap guiding success in your current role and a gateway to future opportunities.
In healthcare, accountancy, and legal work, where adherence to regulations is paramount, CPD isn’t merely optional; it’s a lifeline.
