SUMMARY:Workplace Rehab Interest Group-ARPA Award Winning Case Studies-21st November
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Gill Yates\, Frances Parkhowell and Elise Parker  \nGill Yates – Outstanding Achievement in Return to Work Award (Psychological Claim) \nAn Occupational Therapist with extensive experience in physical and psychological injuries\, specializing in veteran rehabilitation. Her case study involved a 55-year-old former naval marine technician with PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder. Despite significant barriers\, Gill guided the client through a non-return to work program\, vocational assessment\, and goal setting\, ultimately helping him secure employment in project management with a salary comparable to his naval pay. \nFrances Parkhowell – Outstanding Consultant Awards (Same Employer) \nA Rehabilitation Consultant at Recovre since 2022\, Frances brings a diverse background including geology and entrepreneurship to her recent transition into occupational therapy. Her case study focused on a worker with a serious ankle injury who was initially reluctant to return to work. Through facilitation of specialist case conferences\, addressing safety footwear concerns\, and resolving underlying fears\, Frances helped the worker return to normal duties earlier than expected. \nElise Parker – Outstanding Achievement in Return to Work Award (Physical Claim) \nA Rehabilitation Counsellor and Injury Management Consultant with over 16 years of experience across various industries. Her case study involved a 37-year-old Communications Technician who sustained a complex\, traumatic injury to her left arm. Despite a 31-month recovery period and significant permanent impairments\, Elise assisted the worker in redeploying to a new role with her pre-injury employer that accommodated her restrictions\, resulting in successful long-term employment on a FIFO roster. \nDate:                     Thursday 21st November 2024 \nTime:                     Registration 4:15pm – Presentation 4:30pm – 5:30pm \nLocation:              Online \nRSVP:                    By 14th November 2024 \nCost:\nWAOTA Members free (Please log into your account via our website to receive the member rate https://waota.com.au/login/ )\nNon-members $20.00 \nDue to recent changes in the WAOTA policies\, members only will receive a Certificate of Attendance after attending this meeting.
