A SPECIAL seminar could prove just the tonic for Bury businesses faced with staff sickness.

Companies are invited to an informal presentation by Helix Health Management to find out how occupational health could help them.

The event, hosted by the PACE Network at Bury College Business Solutions, will be held at the LA Fitness Centre in the town's Chapel Street next Wednesday (July 2) between 4.30pm and 6.30pm.

The seminar aims to help employers identify reasons for sickness and develop a focused plan to tackle it.

Places are free to PACE members although the sessions are open to non-members at a cost of £10 per person. To reserve your place, contact Amanda Ramsbottom on 797 4325 or e-mail her on amanda.ramsbottom @burycollege.ac.uk
