A helping hand.

The article focuses on the concerns of occupational health nurses on the implementation of incapacity benefit reform proposed by Great Britain's Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) which aims to get incapacitated employees back to work. Nurses advice employers to conduct incapacity assessment. The failure of the DWP, the National Health Service, private sector and consultancies to address which of occupational health staff will be involved in the incapacity assessment added to the confusion of nurses. Nurses are also confused on the extent in which they are required to work with people who are unwilling to return to employment.
