In this world of cutbacks and downsizing, providing employees with an occupational health physiotherapy service, free at the point of use, might appear to be an unaffordable luxury. At Sterling Pharma Solutions we find the exact opposite to be the case. The service provided by Connect Health brings a real net positive benefit to our workforce and our operations.

The Manual Handling, Train the Trainer and Ergonomic Risk Assessment Training courses met both business and personal needs. Confidence was gained to look not only at basic solutions to the issues but more in depth solutions to take forward to senior management as appropriate. I would strongly recommend these training sessions to other sites.
