Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the integration of work coaches (WCs) and disability employment advisors (DEAs) into UK GP practices to improve access to employment support for individuals with disabilities and health issues.
- - Data was collected through interviews with four GPs, WCs, and DEAs, revealing that while professionals recognize the benefits of collaboration and patient openness, they also face challenges in implementation due to resources and support.
- - The findings suggest that embedding WCs and DEAs in GP practices has positive potential, but further exploration of patient perspectives and addressing additional challenges are necessary for successful service delivery.
