Allied Health Professional (AHP) Health and Work Report
6. Example condition: Fractured right humerus
Jenny Kowalski is full-time receptionist. She travels to work by two buses. She has a history of anxiety. She has fractured her right humerus and is being treated with a sling and home exercises.
She is right handed. Her GP has signed her as ‘not fit’ for work. Her fit note expires on 14th February but she is making a good recovery apart from some reduction in shoulder adduction and abduction, and repetitive movements are still uncomfortable.
She is keen to return to work, but anxious and concerned about frequent use of the mouse, and telephone, travelling in the rush hour, and standing for long periods at the reception desk as her shoulder muscles tire after 20 minutes. You think she may be able to return to work now if she
- works from 9.30am to 3.30pm initially to avoid the rush hour to regain her confidence
- builds in additional breaks of 15 minutes at three points during the working day to allow a change of position and carry out some simple exercises
- and is temporarily provided with a stool to perch on.
She should be able to return to full hours and duties within four weeks, but it would be helpful if her progress is monitored and progressed by her line manager. You have given her an open appointment until the end of September and agree to send a copy of the report to her GP.
