These guidelines aim to provide organisations of all sizes with some practical guidance that will better inform and support employers and employees coping with a chronic health condition in the workplace.

Almost all employers will have employees who have or will develop a chronic condition, many of which fluctuate in their expression. Such conditions are a challenge to both employers and employees: often people wish to continue to work, but to do this need knowledge of their condition, good clinical care, and a positive understanding employer.
