Work Reconnected: Empowering Your Return

A structured 12-week online programme to support return to work after ill health.

If you are an employee or an organisation supporting an employee who is “back at work but not back to normal”, this page is for you.

Returning to work after ill health including a neurological condition means that people can look fine but still struggle with:

  • Cognitive fatigue (crashing mid-day or mid-week)
  • Memory and follow-through
  • Concentration and processing speed
  • Confidence and anxiety about performance
  • Increased Stress
  • Managing pain
  • Communication in meetings and high-pressure situations

Work Reconnected gives employees a clear pathway to rebuild work routines and skills, and to ask for reasonable adjustments in a practical, structured way.
