Great 2 days @FireFit_UK, wide variety of health and well-being talks, interesting discussions on future work. Take homes:
1) early education for career longevity is crucial, 2) create a listening and empathetic environment, 3) standardisation is key, 4) more action needed 👩🚒🚒
Panel discussion covering lots of important areas for FRS health and wellbeing questions from the room and beyond @DrNickCC @_emilyrw @fire_scot @victoria_metz01
