Set against the broader theme of \u201cLiberty, Equality, Fraternity,\u201d\u00a0it emphasizes the importance of enabling safe and autonomous work decisions, ensuring equitable access to preventive measures and accommodations, and fostering interprofessional collaboration under a One Health framework.The session\u2019s objectives are to equip participants with the ability to define key occupational health concepts relevant to community health, apply a structured five\u2011minute work\u2011focused history within consultations, draft fit notes that highlight functional capacity and shared decision\u2011making, co\u2011develop practice policies for safe return\u2011to\u2011work and psychosocial risk reduction, and plan a 90\u2011day implementation strategy with measurable clinical, equity, and value\u2011on\u2011investment outcomes.Teaching methods are highly interactive, combining case vignettes, small\u2011group design sprints, and toolkit walkthroughs to ensure participants not only acquire knowledge but also co\u2011create practical tools adaptable to busy clinical workflows. The workshop schedule spans 60\u201390 minutes: an opening segment (00\u201310 minutes) frames occupational health in family medicine through evidence and definitions; case vignettes (10\u201330 minutes) explore common scenarios such as shift\u2011work sleep problems, musculoskeletal pain, anxiety, substance risk, and psychosocial hazards; small\u2011group design sprints (30\u201355 minutes) allow participants to draft scripts, fit note templates, and policy adjustments; report\u2011back and toolkit walkthrough (55\u201375 minutes) consolidate outputs into practical resources; and a closing segment (75\u201390 minutes) focuses on Q&amp;A, commitment\u2011to\u2011change forms, and evaluation planning.Expected outcomes include enhanced clinical capacity to integrate occupational health into family medicine, improved patient autonomy through functional capacity notes, strengthened collaboration with employers and community resources, and measurable reductions in presenteeism and inequities in workplace health access.By the conclusion, participants will leave with a printable toolkit, a structured implementation checklist, and a clear evaluation plan, empowering them to embed a work dimension into their clinical practice, align with WONCA networks in prevention and quality, and advance humanistic, community\u2011oriented family medicine that supports safer, healthier work for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-20159","wsa_session","type-wsa_session","status-publish","hentry","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsa_session\/20159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsa_session"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wsa_session"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
