More than a year on, the effects of the first wave of Covid-19 infections are still being felt, with up to 2 million people in the UK still experiencing long Covid symptoms.

With infection rates rising again, hope for a return to “normal” is dwindling. However, could the pandemic present a unique opportunity to rethink how to best manage an increasingly complex workforce, and to reframe how we aim to achieve “occupational health”?

In this exclusive webinar for OHW+ Premium members, OD consultant and long Covid campaigner Lesley Macniven reflects on this question.

Become a OHW+ Premium member to access this webinar.

She discusses how positive progress is being made, and the potential for transformational change across a number of professions in how we collectively recruit, develop and retain a healthy workforce, with a reinvigorated vision of occupational health at its heart.

This hour-long webinar is chaired by Professor Anne Harriss and covers:

  • Which principles governing how we worked pre-pandemic are still relevant? What has changed?
  • The rise of patient groups: “experts by experience” as change agents and collaborators.
  • The missing link: Where is the effective, connected leadership?
  • Taking a systems-based approach: who needs to work together to tackle the issues?
  • Could the effects of Covid-19 lead to new professional career opportunities and structures?
