This document provides an overview and introduction to NHS Continuing Healthcare. It discusses the difference between health care and social care, and how the NHS Continuing Healthcare framework determines if a person has a "primary health need" and is eligible for fully funded NHS care. The key steps in the NHS Continuing Healthcare process include using the Fast Track Pathway Tool, Checklist, and Decision Support Tool to assess a person's needs and make a recommendation about their eligibility.
This document summarizes research on health at work in the UK. Some key points:
1. Surveys estimate around 2 million people report work-related ill-health each year, costing billions in lost productivity.
2. The most commonly reported work-related illnesses are musculoskeletal disorders and stress/anxiety.
3. While certain jobs and conditions may increase health risks, clearly establishing causal links between work and illnesses is difficult given various influencing factors.
4. A recent IoD member survey found positive attitudes toward minimizing sickness absence and promoting employee health.
