Abstract

This opinion piece looks at the recent report on Health at Work — an independent review of sickness absence by Black and Frost, and offers comment on the implications of the review for the profession of occupational therapy. It considers some key proposals from the occupational therapy perspective in order to inform thinking and response to the review. Further, it raises some critical questions and challenges for the profession in responding to and asserting its place at the table in an initiative that has at its heart the fundamental role and skills of occupational therapists.
