Few pre-recovery visits by occupational physicians during sick leave of more than 3 months are initiated by GPs. This article explores the obstacles perceived by GPs, occupational physicians and medical officers in setting up the pre-recovery visit and in the communication around this visit. The study shows that it is necessary to better inform GPs and employees of the benefits of initiating a pre-recovery visit at an early stage and to develop communication tools between GPs, occupational physicians and medical officers, all three players in the prevention of professional withdrawal.
