In the same mind - If Med 3 were completed as advised by DWP they wouldnt have to spend so much money resigning the form itself and then could spend the money on educating GP's and companies about OH provision, give the GP the tools to utilise OH -
I am busy sounding off to the OH press and the BBC - isnt this an ideal opportunity to highlight OH to the general public - come on - spend 15 minutes today! we all moan that people dont understand our role - maybe this time because of the media attention (provided nothing major happens and it gets knocked off the headlines!) we would have more luck with getting the attention we keep moaning we want!

Kind regards
Gail

Listened to radio 4 and was incensed when 'some bloke' said that business's
in general either want employees backat work or still off unfit  - not my
experiences - as far as i know most practitioners are busting a gut to get
the GP's to accept return on modified duties!

If anyone was watching the feature on BBC Breakfast programme this morning
about sick notes, I hope you were as incensed I was was!!
No mention of Specialist Practitioners or Advisors, and all the hard work
that goes on to rehabilitate employees, often DESPITE their GP!
I hope you will inundate the  BBC website with comments!!!
