Speak to recover - the art of messaging in injury management - live webinar with Dr Mary Wyatt

We have a vast array of treatments for the common condition of low back pain.  Yet messaging about back pain is the most effective treatment we have available.  Behavioural experts craft messages that constructively influence the community in a broad range of areas, from health to tax payments to attending IME appointments.  These approaches are all about how we communicate, how we message.

This webinar explores the impact of messaging on work injury care.  Two examples, back pain and supervisor engagement, will be used to explore the impact of messaging and provide insights into how we can approach this important area:

  • Explore how language influences recovery trajectories, shaping patient attitudes and expectations towards their own rehabilitation

  • An overview of digital tools and platforms that can support consistent and positive messaging during recovery and return-to-work

We are eager to enhance our RTWMatters webinars by embracing a two-way communication model. Your insights on crucial messaging areas are invaluable to us. If possible, we aim to cultivate a community of practice, inviting you to share effective messaging strategies forged in your professional experiences. A collaborative effort will allow us to learn from one another, fostering an exchange of knowledge and practical tools.
