International Forum on Disability Management 2012
6th International Forum on Disability Management (IFDM 2012)
10-12 September 2012 London, England, United Kingdom
In the late 1990s a group of people who were committed to the ideals of best practice in disability management met in Ottawa. From that meeting came the agreement to collaborate on an International Forum to be held every two years in major locations throughout the world, with a focus on research and practice in the field of disability management. Each meeting would attract senior political representatives, and senior executives from government, labour and industry, to speak on the achievements and challenges in that country's efforts to address these problems.
The conference aims to gather representatives and stakeholders in disability management from all over the world, to assemble global perspectives on consensus-based best practices, cutting-edge research and successful disability management policies and programs. Disability management refers to the actions of the health and rehabilitation community to restore those disabled by injury or illness, to health and productivity.
Key sessions include:
Transformation - lessons from sports medicine
The role of the State
Transforming models of disability
Work and employers issues
Disability management in practice
