Researchers at the University of Warwick’s Medical School have just issued a press release detailing a study to explore ways to help people with chronic pain back to work.
They plan to work with both employers and the pain sufferer to assemble a package of care & support to re-enter the workplace. Initially 30 work placements will be trialled with Serco, Coventry City Council & University Hospital Birmingham and if this is successful there could be potential for a roll out nationally.
