Neuro Occupational Health

To support those with neurological conditions, an occupational health company may refer to the specialist intervention of a neurological occupational therapy company.

How Can OH Support Individuals with Neurological Conditions?

When a HR professional encounters an employee who has been diagnosed with a neurological illness or injury, they often seek support from their occupational health team.

These clinicians - occupational health physicians and nurses - can provide generalised return-to-work advice and workplace adjustments. Professional vocational services such as neurological occupational therapy will come after, with the OH team referring the individual to OT companies such as Krysalis.

We can provide services that help employers understand the work capacity of employees impacted by a neurological condition. We offer vocational rehabilitation and specialist occupational therapy assessments of function and work capacity using a biopsychosocial model of function.

An occupational health professional can work with occupational therapists to give an individual the best support possible.

A Neuro Example

If an employee has recently suffered from a stroke and is off work, their company may offer them an occupational health assessment.

This assessment completed by OH will assess whether the employee is fit for work or not, and may advise for early ill-health retirement, which may not be correct. The OH assessment may also lay out a return-to-work plan which has not been consulted by specialist support.

Without specialist help, this employee may attempt to return to work and fail. When an OH company contacts a neurological occupational therapy company for support, the outcome will be different.

This employee requires a specialist work capacity assessment followed by - if required - some neurological vocational rehabiliation and workplace adjustments. Both of these services are best delivered by an occupational therapist who is trained to assess function and functional work capacity.
