Employment Injury Medical Reports

Employment Injury Medical Reports by Dr Robert McQuillan, Consultant in Emergency Medicine

Assessments for Injuries Sustained at Work

Employer-related injury assessments focus on injuries sustained in the course of work – including falls, manual handling incidents, repetitive strain, or sudden impacts.

What's Included in the Report?

Each report provides a structured, evidence-based assessment designed to support clear decision-making in legal and insurance contexts.

  • What injury or injuries were sustained?
  • Was the mechanism of injury consistent with the workplace event described?
  • Was the work environment a substantial contributor to the injury?
  • What is the current condition and prognosis?
  • What treatment has been given and is it appropriate?
  • What treatment is likely to be needed in future?
  • Is the worker fit to return to their pre-injury role?
  • If not, what restrictions or accommodations might enable return to work?
  • Is there a risk of recurrence?
