Has anyone assessed the sickness record against the amount of gigs he
does?
The end of SSP and the threat of losing your job has great healing
powers, why don't the Government and GPs get together and devise a Med3
for it, well worth £7.50.
I have a great deal of time for clients that need our services, but I
get more than a little frustrated with the one's that play us off
against the company and play the system. I cant comment on your chap's
case and we would not find out until later after all the work you have
put in which type he turns out to be?
Sorry for being so up front but I feel its what most of us want to say,
we are always in the middle of a hard place and a rock at times.
Good luck and I really hope that all your hard work and efforts pay
off.

Anna,
I agree with the FCA if the Physio/Rehab route has been already
followed. Otherwise that needs to be looked first.
Wayne.

Hi
It does not sound as though he has had a full ergonomic focused
assessment
and work focused physiotherapy, with CBT, so I am not sure what his
long-term prognosis is especially when combined with the MRI scan
results,
which will also increase his anxiety. I am not sure what a physician
referal
would do for this gentleman and employer, I think they would all get a
better understanding if he had a functional capacity assessment, which
looked at current & future abilities.
Hope that helps

Good Morning
Please can I have any advice.
I have a gentleman - an inherited long term absence aged 50. Fell at
work 2
years ago. Rotary cuff injury - required surgery when did not improve.
Three
attenps back to work in a light duty role all episodes short lived. and
6
weeks ago returned again following cortizone injection into joint. GP
has
adivsed tooo soon for another injection. The role did not require him
to use
his left arm at all. Three weeks later he went off sick stating that
the
pain in his shoulder was too bad to work. The GP reportedly feels that
the
effects of the injection has worn off. Recent MRI scan shows tear to
the
bicep tendon and spurs in the joint - further surgery may be required
to
resolve this. Specialist assessment pending.
This gentleman manages ADLS but reportedly in his own time - very slow
and
rests frequently. However he also is a semi professional singer and
continues with his shows as says his wife carries the equipment and he
does
not require the shoulder to sing! On examination keeps arm close to him
in a
guarded way - dificulty putting coat on and off - very limited movement.
Work are now considering ending his contract. In my last report I have
said
that given his history he is unlikely to be fit to return to work unles
future treatment is sucessful i.e surgery and therefore he is likely to
remain off for several months. I do not have a OHP and when considering
referral on an ad hoc basis I am not sure how much more information the
Busienss will be furnished with. Do you think OHP referral should be
sought
as it is likely this gentleman is going to lose his job. A report from
his
specilaist states that his treatment is ongoing and therefore no
further
information can be given. The specilaist appologised in the letter for
the
lack of information he could give appart from diagnosis and that
further
surgery may be required and that shoudler surgery is known to take
along
recovery .It was the smallest report i have ever seen althought the
standard
questions were asked. The employee strongly believes that the Busienss
is
at fault and the fall has made him half the man he was - He is claiming
significant costs. He says he wants to come back to work and that he
will be
upset if the Business end his contract. Sick pay has not run out. He
has a
further one month sickness. Any comments would be appreciated.
