Early vocational rehabilitation following neurological disability study (EVocS) – first steps

Dr Jennifer Dunn will present an overview of the progress on an HRC/MSD funded ‘Early vocational rehabilitation following neurological disability’ (EVocS) study. Come and find out what progress has being 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 will also be discussed, including developing an implementation plan for an early intervention return to work programme to be trialed and evaluated in the stroke population.

Presentation begins at 12:noon sharp.
