Short description of nature and quantity or supplies or servicesThe proposed project’s main aim is to provide rapid access to early, work-focussed interventions for employees on or at risk of long-term sickness absence. Such interventions may have been recommended by employees assessed by the UK Government’s new Fit for Work service. If approved for European Social Funds, we will be seeking to procure a range of work-focused therapeutic interventions aimed at helping people to return to or remain in work.
The majority of referrals to the project are likely to be due to musculoskeletal or mental health problems, and provision may include:
physiotherapy
evidence-based psychological and occupational therapies including CBT approaches and counselling
chiropody and osteopathy
condition management
'Mindfulness’ and group-based approaches
support for drug and alcohol / substance misuse problems.
