Abstract
This case report delves into facilitating return to work (RTW) in a working-age stroke survivor. The patient was a 42-year-old Malay man who experienced multifocal lacunar infarctions in April 2022. He demonstrated substantial motor function recovery but presented with subtle cognitive deficits impacting various domains. The report outlines the diagnostic process of cognitive assessments and discusses the patient's medical history and stroke-related factors. The management plan encompassed a multidisciplinary approach in primary care, which involved incorporating cognitive rehabilitation, discussing barriers and exploring the perception of the ability to RTW. This case underscores the intricacies of mild cognitive impairment in working-age stroke survivors and emphasises the need for tailored interventions in primary care to optimise cognitive recovery and enhance the overall quality of life.
