Can you insist on a union rep being present when discussing atoms report. Some1 IN my office
Is worried that the dom might refuse what is recommended in report.

He can/could against it but then I would question if he is medically qualified to do so.My DOM took on board everything that ATOS suggested but when my office closed and we moved location,my DOM went to another office and my new DOM was a complete knob which led to my condition getting worse and eventually led to IHR (yippee).

Good luck mate.

Why do you not just ask the office manager for a copy of the Occupational Health Report. You can then show it to your union representative if you so wish to discuss

You have a right to ask your doctor to submit his own report to the manager if you feel that atos have got it wrong.
The manager can make his own decision on an atos report but if he gets it wrong and your health suffers,you could use the grievance code against him.Also remember IHR is the last resort that should be used when it comes to the new attendance procedure,all other options should be used first.
I did put in a grievance in against my dom for putting my helth at risk.Guess what i ended up being dismissed.Only w matter of time and these "Bullys" will be exposed for there actions
