DPP - the UK's specialist provider of health information
DPP Closure
Developing Patient Partnerships (DPP) will be closing this summer. Our Department of Health funding ends in April 2008 and will not be renewed and the lack of significant funds from other sources means that DPP will not be able to earn sufficient income to continue.
We have been running for over 11 years and in that time have campaigned tirelessly to keep self care and health education at the top of the agenda and in the public eye. We believe our expertise has contributed to health education strategies for Strategic Health Authorities, Primary Care Trusts and workplaces and influenced the way the NHS and others have thought about health education.
Sickness absence support tools for GPs and employers - available to download free now
DPP has developed a new range of online support tools for GPs and employers to tackle sickness absence, encourage rehabilitation and raise awareness of the health benefits of work. The support tools include guidance for employers on taking a proactive approach to establishing absence management strategies and practical guidance for GPs to improve communication and encourage return to work when dealing with sick-note requests. We have also developed a series of ‘Back in work’ fact sheets designed for employers and GPs to give to workers on the road to rehabilitation.
