Work can be important for many reasons – our financial security, as part of our identity, for our mental health, our social lives, and to give us confidence.
In the first of two episodes on work and CF, Lucy has a tea and catch-up with Charlotte, who has CF herself and works in HR. She shares her experience of managing work and health, discusses how to explain CF to colleagues, and offers some really useful tips around reasonable adjustments in the workplace.
We also hear from Jimmy, who is Work Forwards Programme Manager here at Cystic Fibrosis Trust. He answers some of your questions on work and cystic fibrosis, and explains more about Work Forwards, our programme of employment support for the CF community.
