| Functional ability recommendations |

12 October, 6.00pm-7.00pm
Many allied health practitioners have an expert knowledge in musculoskeletal function. As part of the ‘Work Capacity Certificate’, GPs are required to provide detail regarding a patient's functional abilities, and many GPs seek assistance from allied health professionals. This session explores how we can best showcase our skills in the Return to Work scheme. Please note: This session will be held online, via the GoToMeeting platform. |
