Ramazzini clinical case presentations: Synergy of mental health and fitness to work

This webinar seeks to provide an opportunity for specialty trainees to prepare and present clinical cases. Join this forum of discussion around the synergy of mental health and fitness to work and vice versa, reflecting on evidence-based practice and its interpretation.

During this session, trainees will present cases that they have managed directly, which demonstrate the synergy between mental health and fitness to work. Presenters should be able to exhibit fluency in the principles of risk assessment and hierarchy of control with a focus on reflection and lessons learnt and the ability to communicate effectively with managers and employees.

At the end of the presentations, the attendees will vote based on topic choice, content/evidence base, presentation, participatory effort, reflection and take away message(s) to improve future practice. A panel will present to facilitate this meeting and summarize key points and take away messages.

Learning objectives include:

• Apply relevant guidance appropriate to the clinical cases and communicate health outcomes, including risk assessment frameworks such as stress risk assessments
• Demonstrate the variation in the application of occupational health practice in providing advice and recommendations across all sectors such as safety-critical workers
• Promote communication between occupational health practitioners and other key stakeholders in practice through effective occupational health reports
• Demonstrate an understanding of the spectrum of mental health conditions and implications for work
• Learn the best practice regarding risk assessment, the hierarchy of control and evaluation and workplace adjustments
• Demonstrate relevant legislation eg. Health and Safety and Work Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, Equality Act 201
