The countdown is on until World Arthritis Day on Saturday 12th October 2019. If you’re not sure how to celebrate, why don’t you join me for a tweet chat on arthritis at work.
I will be co-hosting a tweet chat with the Canadian Arthritis Patient Alliance (CAPA) and special guest CreakyJoints, all about how people manage work and arthritis, as well as other rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.
It will be taking place at 1pm ET / 6 pm BST on Saturday 12th October 2019, using the hashtag #arthritisatwork. Our tweet chat builds upon a survey which CAPA launched on arthritis in the workplace, which led to the development of workplace resources informed by the advice of 300 people living with arthritis. It is also informed by the European League Against Rheumatism’s current focus on Time2Work, as part of the Don’t Delay, Connect Today campaign.
To help you prepare, here’s what we will be discussing:
- How do you advocate for yourself and others in the workplace?
- How have you adapted to working with arthritis?
- Do you have any examples of how to communicate with employers about your health and wellbeing needs?
- If you were to give one piece of advice on how to care for yourself while working, what would it be?
- What needs to be done to improve the experience for people with arthritis in the workplace?
