In Singapore, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of the roles of Return to Work (RTW) coordinators since the national RTW programme was launched in November 2017.

This 2-day course has trained more than 70 healthcare professionals across various sectors with the core competencies of RTWCs since its first run in 2016 by the TTSH Occupational Therapy Department. Healthcare professionals and non-healthcare professionals, such as human resource personnel, health and safety officers, and workplace supervisors, who are taking up the RTW coordinator role or are keen to support people to RTW will benefit from this course.

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Use a systematic approach to identify barriers and facilitators to RTW
2. Discuss the roles of different stakeholders in the RTW process
3. Apply effective communication skills to collaborate with various stakeholders
4. Develop an appropriate RTW plan to support early RTW
