Introduction to the Vocational Rehabilitation Toolkit and elearning
One in four strokes in the UK happen in people of working age. With the right support and guidance, many people successfully return to work after a stroke. Vocational rehabilitation (VR) and/or return to work support should be offered as a core component of rehabilitation from stroke.
A new vocational rehabilitation animation and e-learning resource with a new vocational rehabilitation toolkit has been developed by NHS England which aims to support clinicians, NHS commissioners, leaders and the wider system to inspire, motivate and support VR to become an integral core part of stroke rehabilitation. To find out more please click on the links below to view our animation and to open the e-learning resource which contains the VR toolkit.
