Employment Rehabilitation Needs of Hospital In patients*

FELICITY C. EDWARDS, Senior Employment Medical Adviser (Rehabilitation)

Birmingham

A survey of men inpatients at an acute teaching hospital was undertaken to estimate the prevalence of problems related to return to work, and to ascertain whether advice on return to work was needed at the inpatient stage.

Only 11 men (5 per cent of the whole sample and 11 per cent of the 101 men of working age) needed immediate independent replacement advice and, as 10 of these 11 men had been off work for a mean/median time of two years before this hospital admission, it was concluded that they would have benefited more from employment advice during this prolonged period off work, rather than during their hospital admission.

Dr F. C. Edwards, Senior Employment Medical Adviser (Rehabilitation), Health & Safety Executive, McLaren Building, 2 Masshouse Circus, Queensway, Birmingham B4 7NP.
