It’s great that #cancer survivorship is increasing, but sad that return to work rates are poor. What are the barriers & how do we overcome them? If you’re in treatment or a survivor, tell us your experiences @WorkWithCancer @Liz_ORiordan @EmploymtStudies online1.snapsurveys.com/inte…

Three years since my own #cancer diagnosis, I've had a close-up (but positive) view of the challenges of returning to & thriving at work. Sadly, many others are not so lucky @WorkWithCancer @Liz_ORiordan @EmploymtStudies theconversation.com/cancer-s… 1/3

Workers with #cancer are 3.5 times more likely to leave work permanently as healthy colleagues, yet RTW is possible & can have therapeutic benefits. Want to add to the evidence? Please complete our survey @WorkWithCancer @Liz_ORiordan @EmploymtStudies online1.snapsurveys.com/inte…

Respectfully suggest that employers might have a role to play too? Especially given the demonstrably poorer outcomes for many working age people living with #obesity (eg a 9% wage gap for women). Why is employment such a blind spot? @EmploymtStudies employment-studies.co.uk/res…
“Obesity cannot be a compartmentalised problem. It requires the involvement of policy makers, government institutions, researchers, and patients to improve outcomes. The time has come for EU-level strategies prioritising obesity.” Thanks to @EASOobesity conscienhealth.org/2021/10/c…

The health & productivity debate focuses too much on whether a worker is absent or present. Our new book (Nov 15) looks at other ways (+ve & -ve) that health & productive capacity are linked & what bosses & govt can do better @ProfCaryCooper amazon.co.uk/Healthy-Workfor…

Hmmm that the quote belongs in the "easier said than done" box...
But for some really good resources on how to then make work better for low paid workers, I'd recommend these by @DrZofia @danlucyies @StephenBevan...
Loads of good, practical examples here

Absolutely! It's a great privilege working in health care and the personal cost can be high - including emotionally. Being able to share the highs and lows is so important.

1. Kindness (to yourself and others) goes a long long way. 2 Honesty…you aren’t meant to know all the answers (even when you are qualified), it’s knowing where to find out that counts. 3. Enjoy learning and be curious to ask questions because that shouldn’t ever stop.

Thank you Mark for these wise words. Many students (and qualified clinicians) have imposter syndrome and their biggest critic is often themselves. It takes time to believe in yourself when you put on your clinical uniform, and you know much more than you think you know!
