Employment Conversations: understanding the impact of cancer on work.

Kyle, Richard G; Culbard, Bill; Gray, Nicola M; Hubbard, Gill

Abstract

Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) exists to support people living with illness manage the impact of ill-health on work. But, there are few VR services to specifically support people with cancer with work-related issues. And, because there are so few services, we currently know very little about the benefits of VR for people with cancer.

The purpose of this study was to start to address this gap in our knowledge and was funded by Macmillan Cancer Support and the Scottish Centre for Healthy Working Lives.
