Occupational health is defined in the research as those advisory and support services which help to maintain and promote employee health and wellbeing.

The main topics covered in the report are:

• the organisation of the private occupational health market
• occupational health providers’ commissioning processes and practices
• private market interaction with the NHS
• workforce issues and provider capacity
• outcome data collection

The research findings will help inform future policy development relating to occupational health. The full report will be published in autumn 2019.
