Fit For Work scheme now available in the South West - August 2015

This new DWP initiative offers guidance for GPs and employers to help patients who have been off work for longer than 4 weeks to get back into their jobs. You can get expert advice by phone or from the website, and patients can be referred for an Occupational Health assessment if appropriate.

Information about the guidance available and training opportunities can be found here. The GP leaflet is well written and helpful.
