As business owners or HR professionals – it can be tough juggling day-to-day activities. When an employee serves a fit note for long-term mental health sickness, this can disrupt business operations.

With Active Care – we provide day one intervention as soon as you receive a fit note. One of our qualified clinicians will reach out, discover the barriers and provide recommendations to get the individual back in work as soon as possible.
