Role-based fitness outcomes
Outcomes address patrol, firearms, driving, public-order and other categories separately. A single assessment may result in different fitness statuses for different duties.
For police forces
Fitness and restricted-duty decisions for operational policing.
Firearms authorisation, response driving, public-order deployment and custody work each carry distinct fitness considerations. Occentra separates the clinical record from the duty outcome so managers receive clear advice without inappropriate access.
Fitness governance
Clinical assessment translated into operational decisions.
A fitness opinion may affect firearms, driving, public-order or other operational duties. The outcome and review date must be clear; the medical reasoning stays protected.
Restriction management
Restrictions specify affected duties, duration and review. Updated advice supersedes the previous position while preserving the history.
Manager access boundaries
Line managers see the duty outcome and review date. They do not see diagnosis, medication, treatment plan or clinical reasoning.
Audit readiness
Assessment evidence, outcomes and approvals form a traceable history. Governance teams understand the process without reconstructing it from emails and local files.
Information boundaries
Clinical record separate from duty outcome.
OH holds the full assessment. Managers receive only what they need for deployment decisions.
What OH records
- Medical history and examination findings
- Diagnosis and treatment information
- Clinical reasoning and professional judgement
- Confidential consultation notes
What managers see
- Duty outcome: fit, restricted or not currently fit
- Role-specific restrictions and scope
- Expected duration and review date
- No diagnosis, medication or clinical detail
Police-specific workflows
Pathways that respect the clinical and operational boundary.
Occentra supports role-specific fitness pathways while keeping the clinical record confidential.
Officer fitness assessments
Structure assessments around operational policing demands: mobility, resilience, shift work and role-specific requirements.
Firearms authorisation fitness
Coordinate periodic reviews and manage restrictions arising from health changes. Authorisation status visible; clinical reasoning stays with OH.
Response driving fitness
Assess fitness for emergency response driving including medication and visual factors. Restrictions appear in the duty outcome without exposing diagnosis.
Public-order and custody fitness
Address fitness considerations for high-demand roles. Outcome categories allow nuanced restrictions rather than blanket exclusions.
Restricted-duty management
Record restriction scope, suitable alternative duties, duration and review. Each update supersedes the previous status clearly.
Return-to-duty pathways
Manage phased returns through non-operational, light or modified duties. Tasks, review points and outcomes stay connected in one case.
Referrals, appointments and HR sync
Referrals, appointment booking and HR starters and leavers flow through structured routes. Capacity and outstanding work stay visible without chasing.
What changes
Clearer operational readiness without clinical overreach.
Qualified OH teams get the structure to record assessments, manage restrictions and communicate outcomes while keeping clinical detail confidential.
Clear operational status
Current duty outcome, restrictions and review dates distinguishable from old reports. Managers deploy officers using reliable advice.
Protected clinical confidentiality
Diagnosis, treatment and clinical reasoning stay in the OH record. Managers see only the work-focused outcome.
Faster return-to-duty coordination
Structured referrals, explicit review tasks and clear restriction status reduce time lost between HR, line management and OH.
Auditable governance
Assessment evidence, outcome authorisation, report release and follow-up form a traceable history for later review.
Why Occentra
A clear operating model for occupational health.
Occentra models referrals, cases, appointments and reports around the work occupational health actually does. Configuration adapts the platform to different organisations without creating separate software branches.
Referrals with explicit status
Draft, submitted, received, triaged and accepted are distinct states. Teams can see what is ready for clinical work and what needs attention first.
Cases that hold work together
Tasks, appointments and forms connect to the employee and referral. A case stays open while scheduled work or review actions remain.
Forms without rewriting history
Teams publish versioned templates. Submitted answers stay tied to the form used, while new work moves to the current version.
Permissions by OH responsibility
Operations, advisers, physicians and managers receive different abilities. Server-side checks keep those boundaries consistent.

Frequently asked questions
How Occentra handles police forces work.
How does Occentra separate the clinical record from the duty outcome?
The OH team records the full assessment inside the case, including history, examination and clinical reasoning. A separate manager-safe outcome contains only the duty status, restrictions, duration and review date. Permissions control who sees each part.
Can firearms, driving and public-order fitness be recorded separately?
Yes. Assessment outcomes can address multiple role-based fitness categories. An officer might be fit for neighbourhood patrol but temporarily restricted from response driving. Each restriction has its own scope, duration and review.
What does a line manager see after an assessment?
They see the duty outcome (fit, fit with restrictions, or not currently fit), restriction scope, expected duration and review date. They do not see diagnosis, medication, treatment plan or clinical notes.
How is a phased return to operational duty managed?
Referral, absence context and assessments stay linked to one officer case. OH records each stage with restrictions, duration and review tasks. Later advice supersedes earlier outcomes clearly.
Does Occentra make fitness-for-duty decisions?
No. A qualified OH clinician assesses the officer and records their professional opinion. Occentra provides the structure, forms, outcome categories and audit trail.
Can force leadership see restriction status without clinical detail?
Yes. Operational reports show restriction counts, overdue reviews, outstanding assessments and case status by division. The reports contain compliance information, not clinical findings.
