Access and Pathways back into work

While policies and prevention of work related injury should be paramount to any organisation, healthcare workers are recognised as being at higher levels of developing certain types of injury due to their work and interaction with people who are often incapacitated. When injuries occur organisations have a responsibility to manage and support the worker in getting them back into work. This presentation will consider what support the DWP can provide and the schemes (Pathways to Work, Access to Work etc) available to help and enable organisations and workers in returning to work.
