Ready to Rethink Collaboration in Occupational Health and Vocational Rehabilitation?
We joined a powerhouse panel of industry leaders—Julie Denning (Chair, VRA), Janet O’Neill (OH Nurse Specialist, NSOH), and Jo Vallom-Smith (Occupational Therapist, RCOT)—for a lively, thought-provoking webinar exploring how Occupational Health (OH) and Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) professionals can work more closely to support people in staying in or returning to work.
We dived into real-world scenarios, starting with a case of Parkinson’s disease referred to OH, then opened the floor to your own experiences and insights. This session wasn’t a lecture—it was a collaborative space for shared learning, honest conversation, and practical inspiration.
