Posting on behalf of Public Health Scotland. This looks like an interesting webinar for anyone working in the realm of employment support for people with health problems and disabilities in Scotland.
Ending the cycle of people falling out of work due to ill-health and then needing years of support to help them find their way back should be a number one priority for both UK and Scottish Governments.
