Vocational Rehabilitation Association

This session will share findings from a recent project to better understand what physiotherapists think and feel

There have been some useful studies looking at the roll out of the Fit Note beyond GPs to other healthcare professionals. However, none have focused specifically on the perspective of physiotherapists. This session will share findings from a recent project to better understand what physiotherapists think and feel, including their thoughts on the roll out, their concerns, their experiences, and recommendations to further enable an effective and safe use of the Fit Note. Your Speakers:Rachel Martin: Rachel is an occupational therapist with a background in mental health and learning disabilities, who has worked in higher educator for 30 years. She is a senior lecturer who has taught on undergraduate and post graduate programmes, within occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and vocational rehabilitation. During this time, she has developed and maintained her expertise in vocational rehabilitation through health and work-related enterprise and research activities, including CPD within forensic mental health and neurorehabilitation contexts and evaluations for the Royal College of Occupational Therapists and Public Health England. Christine Parker: Christine has over 25 years’ experience as a physiotherapist in both NHS and private sectors where she specialised in rehabilitation for chronic pain and long-term conditions in an interdisciplinary team.
