Vocational Rehabilitation Toolkit

Being able to stay in work or return to work is an essential part of an individual’s recovery from a disabling illness, such as a stroke.

While many people are able to return to work with little, if any, need for assistance, some will need professional help due to functional changes, workplace concerns and/or psychological issues.

Vocational rehabilitation (VR) is the process which can help them achieve this goal. The Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Toolkit has been developed to help clinicians provide a consistent VR service to those who need support to return to work after a stroke. It collates the relevant guidance to provide a resource for clinicians working in VR services and those seeking to commission VR services.
