Definition of a single-handed provider

A single-handed provider is any OH physician or practitioner who operates independently as a peripatetic service or as a service with offices. They may have access to an identified occupational physician, listed on the GMC specialist register, including for advice or the escalation of cases and have administrative support but do not employ directly or contract any other clinical or technical staff. This definition does not apply to single-handed providers who outsource large multiple contracts or work to networks or third party providers, other than for their own reasonable holiday cover. Between 6 to 8 weeks’ of annual leave is considered reasonable.

Definition of a site

A site is defined as a facility which a service uses to conduct its business. This should not include any client offices which a service works from, and should only include the facilities that the service is directly responsible for. It would be expected that the service’s branding or name is on signage on the outside of the facility, and that the service owns or pays a lease for its use. A mobile unit is considered to be a site.
