About COPE

A specialist partner, not a generalist

COPE Occupational Health Services has been supporting UK employers since 1993. We’re a specialist occupational health and wellbeing provider — not a generalist — with a nationwide network of clinicians delivering at your sites and a secure portal built in-house for the way OH actually works.

Our service is nurse-led, with experienced Occupational Health Advisers conducting the majority of assessments and Occupational Health Physicians available for more complex cases. Every customer gets a dedicated Customer Relationship Manager and Clinical Lead, same-day reports subject to consent, and access to our free duty-nurse service.
