This session highlights the health benefits of work, the adverse effect on health of worklessness, and the practical support that exists to help job-seeking patients who have health problems.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Recognise the benefits of work on health and well-being, and the negative effects of worklessness
  • Recognise the impact of physical and psycho-social factors on work capability
  • Identify the physical and psycho-social factors related to long-term worklessness
  • Identify and know how to access the services that are available to support a patient who wants to return to work

This session focuses on unemployment and worklessness. It explores the effects of worklessness on health and well-being and the role of the GP when supporting patients who are socially excluded.

Instructors / Speakers
Debbie Cohen,
Co-lead of the new National Programme for Work and Health for the Royal College of General Practitioners

Dr. Cohen is a Senior Medical Research Fellow at the Centre for Psychosocial and Disability Research, School of Medicine, Cardiff University. She previously worked for 15 years as a General Practitioner. In 2000 she left General Practice to develop her career further in Occupational Medicine.

Debbie’s doctoral thesis (MD) investigated the fitness for work consultation in General Practice. This work led to the development of an e-learning programme for GPs that is informed by motivational interviewing. More recently she has led the development of Healthy Working Wales and a UK project that has developed a new website for primary care about work and health. A similar site for employers will be completed later this year for Wales. She has also developed and now co-leads the new National Programme for Work and Health for the Royal College of General Practitioners.

Debbie’s interests are in work and health, complex communication and how communication issues impact on the health and wellbeing of people in work.
