The 'bible' of occupational health, Fitness for Work is the most
in-depth and comprehensive resource available on the relationship
between ill health and employment. The specialist advice given
covers health hazards in the work place, fitness for work, and
rehabilitation after illness or injury. A truly current source, it
discusses the social aspects of work, and problems associated with
our ageing workforce and changing population. Communicating
occupational health advice to patients, employees, and doctors,
Fitness for Work improves relationships in the workplace. It
details the impact of a patient's health on work, and how they can
be supported to gain or remain in employment. This invaluable
source argues that in a suitable role, an employee can derive
immense benefits to their health and well-being from work.
Importantly, this comprehensive title also presents tactics on how
to reduce inappropriate barriers to work for those who have
overcome an injury or disease, and those who live with chronic
conditions. Fully revised and updated, the sixth edition of Fitness
for Work is based on the latest research evidence and clinical
advances. The first half of the book focuses on the general
principles of fitness to work and occupational health practice,
such as legal aspects, ethical principles, health promotion, health
surveillance and general principles of rehabilitation. In addition,
it advises on sickness absence, ill health retirement, medication,
transport, vibration and travel. In the second half of the book,
chapters are arranged by clinical speciality or topic, and are
co-authored by a topic specialist and a specialist occupational
physician providing a comprehensive view of the subject. For
effortless reference, each specialty chapter outlines the
conditions covered, their prevalence and impact, and discusses the
clinical aspects and treatment that affects work capacity. All
recommendations are evidence-based and make use of the NICE
guidelines. The definitive text on the relationship between health
and work, Fitness for Work delivers a wealth of valuable consensus
guidance, codes of practice, and locally evolved standards. This
highly-regarded resource is essential for all occupational health
practitioners.
