European Network on work and COVID (REWORC)

 In the “European Network on work and COVID” (REWORC) study, we want to collect data on work-related diseases and exposure to occupational risk factors of European workers through a representative sample of occupational physicians from different European countries (sentinel surveillance system).
In this first study, want to assess the impact of COVID and long COVID on work and return to work. We are looking for occupational physicians (OPs) to participate in the REWORC study.

What to do expect from the OPs:

  • Fill out this online questionnaire to collect your personal and professional data. This information will be used to assess the representativeness of the recruited Ops.
    • We will ask for your name and e-mail address for future communication. Your name and e-mail address will be removed from the database and replaced by a code. Only the researcher from the KU Leuven (Liesbeth Gilissen) will have access to your name and e-mail address and will contact you with further information.
  • Recruit random workers during the consultation that are willing to fill out an online questionnaire about the impact of COVID and long COVID on their work and return to work.
    • You will receive the questionnaire in PDF, so you know the content of the questionnaire
    • You will receive a link and QR-code to the questionnaire that you can hand out to the workers so they can fill out the questionnaire at home or you can fill out the questionnaire together with the worker during the consultation.
