Correct answer: C — Remote assessments can be appropriate for many referrals including mental health, sickness absence reviews, and management advice, but clinical examination may require face-to-face assessment for certain conditions

Remote OH consultations are appropriate for many referrals. They offer accessibility and efficiency. However, where clinical examination is needed (e.g. skin examination, respiratory assessment, neurological examination), a face-to-face component may be necessary.
