RaceFace03 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Can anyone offer some advice. A member of staff has informed me that a member of staff is taking the medicine 'tramadol' she then went on to say that she doesn't think she should be working if on this medication, as she knows of someone who had taken this and had bad side effects. Surely it is dependent as all medicine has side affects....... Anyone comments on this ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsbat Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Do you have staff declaration forms for medications etc? getting all staff to renew them then speak to the staff member in question could open lines of communication then you can get first hand information? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 why don't you simply ask the staff member?? You should be upfront rather than taking information from someone who clearly doesn't know what she's talking about. ANY medicine can have side effects. Ask the lady concerned if she needs any adjustments made to her working pattern as Tramadol is most often used to relieve pain.................though of course she might NOT be taking it, or anything else. The only way to find out is to ask...............and if she IS, then go from there. ....................... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 we put in a risk assessment for workers on medication explaining what we will and will not allow (so if for instance they are getting dizzy then picking up a child would be a no go) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
