Comcare’s new one-page resource is designed to assist GPs to assess their patient’s functional capacity for work. Enabling patients to participate in good work while they recover results in better health and wellbeing outcomes.
Evidence-based assessment should consider both physical and psychological functions and focus on what the person can do, not what they can’t do.
