The Package of Interventions for Rehabilitation (PIR) is a resource that provides relevant information on essential interventions for rehabilitation and related resources (material, human and time) required for the delivery of the interventions. The PIR is available for 20 health conditions amenable to rehabilitation that are organized in seven disease area-specific modules (musculoskeletal conditions, neurological conditions, cardiopulmonary conditions, neurodevelopmental conditions, sensory impairments, cancer, and mental health). The interventions included in the PIR are relevant to Universal Health Coverage. The PIR provides countries with information relevant for the planning, budgeting, and implementation of rehabilitation in their health systems. While Ministries of Health are the main target audience, the information available with the PIR is also useful for service planners and providers, researchers, and academics.

Although there is broad agreement on the importance of rehabilitation and the need to improve occupational health and vocational rehabilitation in the UK, there is considerable uncertainty about what 'rehabilitation' is, and about its cost-effectiveness, particularly for the common health problems that cause most long-term disability and incapacity. This paper seeks to develop a theoretical and conceptual basis for the rehabilitation of common health problems. Chapters include: traditional rehabilitation and the need for a different approach; illness, disability and incapacity for work; the biopsychosocial model and framework of disability; obstacles to recovery and return to work; clinical and occupational management of common health problems; personal responsibility and motivation; and rehabilitation in a social security context.
