Notice Title

Employment and Health Discussion Pilot training for Healthcare Professionals

Notice Description

Please provide a detailed description of the notice you are adding: The Authority is developing a service known as the Employment and Health Discussion ("EHD programme"), and the Vocational Rehabilitation Association ("VRA") is supporting this development through the provision of vocational rehabilitation advice and expertise to design this service. The current phase of this service is the expansion of the EHD programme to 12 additional Authority sites across England and Wales. The expansion of the EHD programme requires additional Healthcare Professionals ("HCPs") to deliver the service.. The EHD programme expansion requires the revision of previously designed EHD training documentation e.g. workability plan, and the implementation of a training programme for the expansion of the service, and the VRA has been asked to deliver this training programme.
