Individuals with chronic diseases and mental health issues often experience work related problems, leading to negative consequences at individual and national level. CHRODIS+ is working on strategies to address this and is developing tools to improve participation of these patients in the labour market. WP 8 has organised, in collaboration with Work Package 6, the Multimorbidity Care Model expert meeting to address the following topics:
- the problems faced by chronic disease patients with multimorbidity;
- how employment might impact on the care process of these patients, and
- how to raise awareness among employers.
The meeting on “Employment in the Multi-morbidity Chronic Care Model” took place at the Policlinico Gemelli in Rome, Italy, on the 28th February 2018 and PAE was represented by Mr. Joop van Griensven, PAE President.
