Programme Focus
Recovery at Work: Reframing the conversation
Workplace reintegration is an important milestone following injury, and unnecessary delays can adversely affect patient outcomes. However, evidence suggests that many injured patients are being signed off work for too long. The reasons for this are multifactorial, and addressing the barriers to returning to work involves a co-ordinated effort from the patient, the clinicians and other health providers involved in their care, their workplace and ACC.
We are pleased to announce the launch of a major bpacnz programme on supporting clinicians to help patients navigate the ACC Recovery at Work process. This initiative promotes the benefits of returning people to their work after an injury, ensuring best outcomes for their overall health and wellbeing.
