@alghrani @jojohjhj Congratulations Amel! Fantastic rise from the Manchester Master's days, well deserved!

[Professor Neil Greenberg @ProfNGreenberg]

Actually the strongest evidence for improving the #mentalhealth of workers is to ensure that all supervisors/managers can confidently speak with staff about their psychological health. See @WHO review of the evidence. Train those supervisors; that'll help. https://t.co/0OuxTHCzmh

[Professor Neil Greenberg @ProfNGreenberg]

We should not forget that @H_S_E published their review on MHFA in 2018 & found "There is no evidence that the introduction of MHFA training has improved the organisational management of mental health in workplaces". https://t.co/5doQLXY41N

Delighted to be part of the authorship team for this important document. Hopefully, the information will help protect the #mentalhealth of healthcare workers who provide emergency life support. Supportive leaders & peer support have key roles. @EPR_HPRU @NHSCHECK1 @MarchonStress

As a former @FOMNews trainee rep myself, I strongly encourage UK OH trainees to consider applying for this role. An amazing opportunity to influence training, represent your peers, understand how FOM supports OH, and learn about committee work and senior stakeholder engagement.

@AskWithings Unfortunately some really useful functionality has been lost. App was previously a market leader in showing health metric trends, but now is very much worse at displaying helpful information. I hope these changes can be rolled back, happy to discuss further! thanks.

An expert in one domain may be a novice in another. This can be very risky when medical expert witnesses are engaged. My letter on this in the BMJ

Thank you @NorwichChloe for visiting our occupational health service, to learn how we are supporting our staff.

[Chloe Smith @NorwichChloe]

It was great to accompany @SOMNews and see how the occupational health teams at @GSTTnhs and @TfL are prioritising the wellbeing of their staff. Positive physical and mental health is good for business as healthier workplaces produce stronger financial results

[Paul McGovern @pauldmcgovern]

@NorwichChloe @SOMNews @GSTTnhs @TfL It was great to see the interest that you and @DWP are taking in workplace health and to talk about how to improve workplace effectiveness, wellbeing and ultimately productivity in the UK. @SOMNews @FOMNews @FomPresident @DameCarolBlack @MayorofLondon 4/4
