This session describes the relationship between work and pain and what professionals can do to assist patients to stay at work (SAW) or return to work (RTW).

Objectives

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

  • Describe the relationship between work and musculoskeletal pain
  • Identify common myths relating to SAW and RTW
  • List the common obstacles to SAW and RTW
  • Explain what professionals can do to assess and address obstacles to SAW/RTW in people with musculoskeletal pain

The availability of vocational advice is variable in the UK, and the majority of the working age population do not have access to occupational health services through their workplaces. When people experiencing pain have difficulty managing at work they often turn to the health services for advice and support to help them either stay at work (SAW), or if they are absent, to return to work (RTW).
