Occupational health physician

In acute illnesses, your employer may allow short absences with the permission of your supervisor, in which case a certificate issued by a physician or nurse is not required. Utilise this option in the first place. If you feel that you need help with your symptoms, healthcare professionals are at your service at the Digital Clinic Occupational Health Care Centre. In musculoskeletal diseases, you can book an appointment directly with an occupational physiotherapist. If your condition persists, book an appointment with your occupational health team professional.

In challenges related to work ability as well as health guidance and couselling needs, book an appointment with your designated occupational health nurse. If you have musculoskeletal symptoms, book an appointment directly with an occupational physiotherapist. In the mental health challenges, contact the Concern about my own coping service. For an appointment with an occupational psychologist, you need a referral from your occupational health nurse or physician.

In case of an accident, always contact Mehiläinen’s emergency services or a medical clinic directly. Remember to inform your supervisor of the accident before booking an appointment.

You can find the instructions in your occupational health examination invitation.

Be prepared to prove your identity in connection with your appointment.
