Outcome of meeting:
- As part of the meeting, Ray and the neuro-rehab team member revisit and redefine Ray’s goals. Ray identifies the things that feel most important to him are:
- Looking after his daughter, Olivia
- Managing his return to work
- Getting back to driving
Ray is encouraged to try and focus on one goal at a time, and whilst being on the waiting list for driving assessment, it was felt that this would provide an opportunity to concentrate on phased return to work.
One specific outcome from the meeting is for the neuropsychologist to revisit the feedback from the cognitive assessment with Ray, Andrew and Olivia. This information would have been provided after the assessment, but it is important to make this information available repeatedly if required, to help Ray and his family understand the reasons behind his difficulties, and to help promote Ray’s insight into why retuning to work has not gone as smoothly as he’d hoped.
