World Continence Week (WCW) is an annual initiative organized by the World Federation of Incontinence Patients (WFIP) to raise awareness about incontinence issues and improve the quality of life for those affected. Dealing with incontinence can greatly affect your quality of life, bringing about emotional, psychological, and social hurdles. But, with the right management and support, you can still lead a fulfilling life and tend to your social engagements.  Many people with incontinence delay seeking help due to embarrassment or misconceptions. But early intervention can make a big difference.

Today’s topic for #SpeakUpWeek is psychological safety. Our free webinar takes place this morning at 11am and there's still time to register for a place. Register: https://lnkd.in/eqYHKG3b Hear Elizabeth Humphreys, Non-Executive Director and Whistleblowing Champion for the Scottish Ambulance Service and Paul Johnston, Chief Executive for Public Health Scotland, in conversation on the important topic of psychological safety and Speaking Up   Submit questions: https://lnkd.in/eehpAmxa Psychological safety is the idea that individuals within a team feel safe to ask questions, challenge the status quo, and express their opinions without fear of negative consequences. The issue of moments of staying silent can add up to a huge loss of valuable insight and ideas. And in the context of patient safety, the price of those moments might literally be lives.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr Julie Denning, Managing Director and Chartered Health psychologist at Working2Wellbeing and chair of the Vocational Rehabilitation Association. Also joining us is Generali's own early intervention and rehabilitation expert, Kay Needle to discuss the latest thinking in support for employees with long-term conditions. Around 15 million people in England alone have a long-term condition. That's a condition that has to be managed with drugs or treatment such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke or cancer. And the number of people with three or more long-term conditions or multimorbidity, is ever-rising, bringing with it rising demand for prevention and management. Even long COVID, which is not as prevalent as any of these conditions but is arguably receiving most attention in the media, at least, is now verging into this territory and is also contributing to the wider discussion around chronic fatigue. Such conditions are more prevalent than others, but will undoubtedly impact people in most workplaces. So what are the trends? The latest thinking and support and barriers to progress?
