Getting Back To Work After Stroke

What we will cover today Why work after stroke? Who and what can help? Case Study What next?

Why work after stroke? Positive effect on the individual & family unit Positive effect on society

Barriers Not enough rehab, feeling “written off” Pressure to return too soon Not knowing who can help Non-physical “invisible side of stroke” Not being able to drive Benefits trap, recession

Enablers Positive rehab staff No pressure to return too soon Supportive employers Access to Work, Disability Employment Advisers Employment Schemes, e.g. Work Choice Driving Charities (work experience)

The Equality Act 2010 Replaced Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) Requires employers to make reasonable adjustments Covers all aspects of employment

What are “reasonable adjustments”? Employers have a duty to make “reasonable adjustments” to workplaces & work practices BUT there is no fixed definition of “reasonable”! This depends on: practicality cost the extent to which business may be disrupted

What are “reasonable adjustments”? Reasonable adjustments include: A phased return to work Modifying a job description Flexibility around working hours Adjusting performance targets Ensuring easy access Changing time of a job interview/appraisal if it coincides with a medical appointment

Case Study Stu Brown’s story – how he returned to work after his stroke

What next? PLAN: Don’t rush back too soon – take your time, speak to your GP Keep lines of communication open with your employer Negotiate a phased return to work Be prepared for fatigue

Who can help? A “buddy” or mentor may speak up for you and explain your situation HR department, Occupational Health Department, or trade union rep If you feel under pressure, speak to your manager to explain your concerns
