The latest KBW update proposes a more connected approach to workplace health. health + work + function + workplace + individual goals Voc rehab already sits at that intersection. What needs to be protected as the system evolves? #VocRehab #KeepBritainWorking #WorkHealth #Rehab

A quieter workspace might improve concentration. But what if the person's role depends on quick access to colleagues? An adjustment can solve one problem while creating another We ask: Did it actually help? What needs to change? #VocRehab #WorkplaceAdjustments #OccHealth

World Heart Day is a useful reminder that health and employment don't sit in separate boxes. Treatment Fatigue Stamina Travel Work demands Recovery Confidence “What does this mean for this person, in this job, in this workplace?” #WorldHeartDay #VocRehab #WorkHealth #OccHealth

Young disabled people have a wealth of talent and skills, and it’s positive to see the government putting money behind them to unlock their potential. ⬇️
Expansion of Jobs Guarantee to put young disabled people at the front of the queue. This is the kind of change we need.

A good vocational plan can change Because people change Circumstances change Health changes Work changes Sometimes the right professional response is not to push harder towards the original goal It's to pause, review and adapt #VocRehab #VocationalPractice #WorkAndHealth

Same diagnosis. Different person. Different workplace. Different outcome. That's why vocational rehabilitation can't stop at diagnosis. #VocationalRehabilitation #WorkAndHealth #LongTermHealth #Rehabilitation #WorkplaceInclusion #OccupationalHealth

Person-centred doesn't mean agreeing with every choice It means making space for the person to understand their options, consider the implications and participate meaningfully in the decision #VocRehab #ClientCentredPractice #VocationalChoice #WorkAndHealth #ProfessionalPractice

CPD should change something. Learn. Reflect. Apply. Discuss. Improve. Professional development isn't just about collecting certificates. It's about enhancing practice. What would help you develop your VR practice this year?
