Overview Overview of CLAHRC NDL Themes: clinical and implementation research themes Studies taking place in Derby Return to work in Stroke study

From what we know to what we do CLAHRC’s pull together researchers/clinicians/commissioners/ users/carers to work together to get what we know into standard practice. 9 CLAHRCs across the country – all working slightly different ways

Partnership Working Building partnerships Multiple perspectives Learning together Diffusion Fellows and CLAHRC associates are vital to partnership working

How does CLAHRC work? Applies an Organisational Learning model: Researchers work alongside (not decoupled from) healthcare staff (Diffusion Fellows) to do the research & support its implementation in a situated way in real time as evidence-based innovation is translated into practice CLAHRC Associates (from any sector or background) form networks around Diffusion Fellows to help the research to practice process

Return to Work After Stroke

Evidence from Stroke Less that one third of stroke survivors of working age return to work Although severe disability accounts for a proportion of this figure there remains significant unmet need For many the primary goal is to return to work

Return to Work: Aims To design a vocational rehabilitation service specific to the local needs of people with stroke in Derby, involving key stakeholders and test its feasibility and cost effectiveness, usefulness and acceptability in a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). To determine what people with stroke, their employers and other stakeholders (NHS, Job Centre Plus and the Third Sector) want from a vocational rehabilitation services, so that appropriate services can be designed.

Return to Work: The Projects 1 1.Interview and observational study of current provision: 1.What vocational rehabilitation services people in Southern Derbyshire currently receive following a stroke and how and where are work issues are currently addressed? 2.What do people with stroke, their employers and other stakeholders (NHS, social services Job Centre Plus and the Third Sector) want from a vocational rehabilitation service? 2.Pre-trial intervention phase (case study design) 1.Can we deliver this locally? 2.Is it seen as acceptable and useful by recipients.

Return to Work: The Projects 2 3.Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial 1.Can we design and test the feasibility and cost effectiveness of delivering a vocational rehabilitation service for people with stroke? 4.Qualitative study to identify changes experienced and valued as a result of participating in the service. 1.What service interventions are most valued in practice by an employee with stroke? 2.What service interventions are most valued in practice by an employer?
