Presenter:
Dr Jennifer Dunn
Held: Wednesday 15th July, 2020 at Burwood Hospital.
In this presentation Dr Dunn overviewed the progress on the HRC/MSD funded ‘Early vocational rehabilitation following neurological disability’ (EVocS) study. In an information packed presentation she outlined the progress that has been made to understand how an early intervention vocational program works, and how it may impact on return to work outcomes, among people with SCI. Next steps were discussed, including development of an implementation plan for an early intervention return to work programme to be trialed and evaluated in the stroke population.
