Allied Health Professional (AHP) Health and Work Report
7. Example condition: Anxiety and depression
Deepak Prasad is a university lecturer. He works full time, teaching and supervising students and undertaking research. He has been off work due to depression for three months and is worried about work and his sickness record. He finds it difficult to concentrate and make decisions. He feels embarrassed about his illness, and facing a group of students. He is worried about his full email inbox.
He has just increased his anti-depressant medication which has initially worsened his early morning symptoms. You are planning to see him once a week for a period of six weeks (Weds mornings 10-11) from today. He has a ‘not fit’ fit note which expires on 14th June. If his manager agrees, he could start a phased return to work before the end of the academic year, initially 3 days a week, 11-4, to gradually pick up his existing/familiar research work over the summer break, with limited teaching duties from September (e.g. 3 hours per week initially).
He may need some support with allocated parking as parking spaces tend to be filled early in the day. It would be best if these teaching duties are on a topic/student group that he feels most confident/comfortable with. You will review his return to work progress with him on 1st August and estimate that he will have returned to full hours and duties by mid November.
