About Dr Halliday-Bell
Work should be healthy and safe; as an Occupational Physician, I help people get back to work or find the best working arrangements for people with disabilities. I also aim to prevent work related ill health.
I graduated from Leicester University as a medical doctor with an intercalated degree in Psychology. I trained as a general practitioner and began working as an Occupational Medicine Physician in 1992. I have decades of experience in many different roles and I have enjoyed the wide variety of responsibilities and positions held.
I also hold Fellowship of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine and I have acquired a medical doctorate in occupational medicine. I had to take Asbestos Medical‘s, radiation Medicals and fit for work Medicals. I undertake blood lead Medicals. I also do I’ll health retirement assessments assessments, fitness for confined spaces work and pre-employment medical assessments.
