Project members Dr Calum Carson and Dr Alison Collins have spent time this summer presenting preliminary findings from the Study to an international audience of academics and practitioners at conferences across Europe. Calum gave a talk in July highlighting some of the main mixed methods findings emerging from the first stage of fieldwork for the study (involving an exploration of the experiences of people with disabilities and long-term health conditions) at the European Society of Health and Medical Sociology’s Conference on Intersectionality and Inclusion in Health at the University of Antwerp, while Alison focused on findings regarding absenteeism and presenteeism during a talk in June at the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology’s annual conference at the University of Granada.
