Many of Kays Medical occupational Health services have a direct referral pathway into an organisations EAPs, particularly cases with psychological ill health components using a risk-based approach.

 

 

Psychological Screening – PTSD precursors / risk

Staff in some organisations are at particular risk of being exposed to traumatic incidents and / or traumatising materials during the course of their ongoing duties. Exposure to such events / materials increases the risk of psychological ill health, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Psychological screening is one tool that can be used to help identify those with precursors for PTSD and higher susceptibility to traumatic events as part of an overall management process and duty of care.

Psychological screening for at risk roles is typically undertaken before people commence in the role and following this at set periods due to ongoing associate trauma risk.

Kays Medical are equipped to support a psychological screening process for employees in tandem with the appropriate role related psychological trauma risk assessment. For those identified at risk a structured interview is usually recommended. Where there is significant risk of psychological harm role recommendations and controls will be made.

Critical Incident Stress Debriefing

All organisations can at a moment’s notice experience events which exposes its employees to quite significant psychological trauma risks. Some organisations, such as blue light services, have indeed a significant risk profile, however even those with seemingly limited trauma related risk factors can still be impacted by traumatic events that occur within their businesses.

Trauma exposure can be very disturbing and, in some cases, disabling and unless managed effectively it can lead to significant work absence.

 

Our Critical Incident Management service provides a fully trained trauma counsellor or counselling team to be onsite, typically within 24 to 48 working hours to deliver a specialist group counselling debriefing. Clients will also have immediate access to a 24-hour telephone support to assist with the management of the incident. From this point tailored ongoing response, monitoring even NICE approved treatment programmes can be installed.
