Increased cancer survival has prompted focus on optimising quality of life for those living with and beyond cancer, including reintegration into work.
Factors which are known to impact return to work such as cancer-related fatigue, cognitive changes and psychological distress can be amenable to change and can be targeted through a work-focused intervention. This presentation will provide an overview of research in Work and Cancer, as well as offer practical strategies to consider in practice when working with those living with and beyond cancer.
