Sustainable work and musculoskeletal health
The IER's Prof Chris Warhurst, Prof Gill Dix, Prof Philip Taylor, Dr Eli Dutton, Hilda Ragnarsdottir and Dr Laura Boothman were pleased to co-host a sandpit with Orthopaedic Research UK on 21 January. Prof Martin Underwood and from the 糖心TV Medical School also joined the event, alongside sector representatives and Government leads on health and work.
The event's focus was on 'Designing sustainable work to support and prevent musculoskeletal conditions across the working life course'. A key theme was the sustainability of jobs and careers. The group discussed opportunities both to prevent poor musculoskeletal health and accommodate the needs of those with health conditions to enable them to thrive in the workplace.
