WEBINAR | HEART HEALTH
How can your organisation support your workforce to make healthier lifestyle choices?
Thursday 13 October 2022 14:00 BST
Globally, cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in both men and women and claims more lives than all forms of cancer combined. And in the UK, heart and circulatory disease causes a quarter of all deaths; 7.6 million people are living with heart disease; and strokes cause around 35,000 deaths each year and are the biggest cause of severe disability.
Across the world, COVID has acted as a catalyst for what had already been a poor situation and, as healthcare programmes were either repurposed or postponed during the pandemic and people made changes to their lifestyle, the incidence of strokes and heart attacks has been rising.
Cardiovascular disease has a huge impact on health and wellbeing at an individual level, and also on the productivity of the workforce as a whole.
So how can your organisation support your workforce to be aware of the risk factors and to make healthier lifestyle choices?
Join Dr Grainne McGrath, Consultant Occupational Health Physician, as she looks at the issues, including:
- What is cardiovascular disease?
- What are the risk factors, and how can people control and reduce them?
- Cardiovascular disease and work offshore
- How can an organisation can support their workforce to make healthy lifestyle choices, reduce risk factors and maintain a healthy heart?
We expect the webinar to last around 50 minutes, to include a Q&A. Should you be unavailable to attend at the scheduled time, please note that registrants will receive a link to the recording following the webinar.
