Aim: The aim of the study was therefore to explore the perceptions of workforce managers involved in commissioning occupational health rehabilitation services about the role and responsibilities of physiotherapists providing these services. Methods: The study incorporated a qualitative framework underpinned by an interpretive construct. Five workforce managers who were involved in the commissioning of occupational health rehabilitation services were interviewed. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Results: Several themes and sub-categories about the role and responsibilities of occupational health physiotherapy were identified. The findings highlighted the complex nature about the role of physiotherapists providing occupational health rehabilitation services. Conclusions: In summary, to establish a role for occupational health physiotherapists based solely on clinical skills would fundamentally devalue the role because it became apparent that physiotherapists were perceived as providing a varied role with numerous responsibilities within occupational health rehabilitation services.","PeriodicalId":121507,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Medical Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130902621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
