• Effective return to work planning for those with health conditions requires both work-focussed health care and accommodating workplaces (Waddell, G., Burton, A., & Kendall, N. (2008). Vocational rehabilitation – what works, for whom, and when? TSO.) • Early intervention should include a plan to contact the employer; this may be done by Rosemary or it may help for you to call them first to explain more about her stroke and what she is managing well and what she is having some difficulty with. This will help the employer to start thinking about reasonable adjustments they could make. • An AHP Health & Work Report may be helpful to manage both Rosemary’s expectations and that of her employer regarding a return to work timeframe; or a review date to look at this again. https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/helmopen/rlos/professional-development/AHP-health-and-work-report/index.html
