10 Years
We have been working with David Barber for around 10 years and have always received an excellent level of service from the whole team. From arranging occupational health assessments to nurses visiting our care homes and meeting directly with our employees, the service is always professional, responsive and supportive. We mainly use David Barber to assess employees’ fitness for work following periods of absence or changes in their health. The team are always quick to respond and provide clear, helpful advice and guidance. They are also extremely flexible, offering appointments at our care homes or, where needed, visiting employees in their own homes. We have built a trusted relationship with David Barber over the years and genuinely wouldn’t go anywhere else for our occupational health support. Thank you to the whole team for your continued support and excellent service!

Responsive, friendly & professional
I use David Barber for occupational health referrals, advice and for annual health tests/surveillance. They are responsive, friendly, professional, and easy to deal with. The reports for referrals come back the same or next day, which is much quicker than previous experiences with other providers. This means that employees are not left waiting unnecessarily and we are able to make decisions on recommendations without delay. The advice helps us make the right decisions to support our employees and the business.

David Barber (OH) Ltd was professional, friendly and really understood the issues – we would definitely recommend them.
Professionalism
I would like to thank Kate very much for her professionalism, methodical, and lovely way she conducted my Occupational Health assessment.

I was so impressed all the way throughout the 45 minutes and came away knowing that I had received excellent attention and service.
