Subject: Helping people return to work -request for info.
Hello all,
I wonder if any of you would be willing to hl me. I am currently
gathering information with view to developing rehabilitation/return to work
protocols for patients who have undergone hysterectomy or hip
replacement/resurfacing and any assistance would be greatly appreciated and
acknowledged. I am seeking information on three areas at present:
* Does any one have any interview schedules/lists (formal or informal)
of questions they use when speaking to clients when trying to ascertain
fitness to return to work?
* What sort of work adjustments are you negotiating for heavy manual,
light manual and sedentary work?
* The duration of any adjustments.
Thanks & regards,
Mary.
