Working with cancer often better

Employers and general practitioners often do not know what they are doing with a cancer patient.

Desiree Dona of the Occupational Health Club (NVAB) sees the 'catastrophic consequences' if the business doctor is only involved late in the process: 'There has already been a lot of damage because there has been no guidance or information. '

According to her, it is important to keep in touch with the employee during the (long) course of treatment.
