Nursing Standard podcast: is your workplace making you unhealthy?

Professor of health promotion at London South Bank University discusses her research

Do you struggle to find nutritious food at work? Does your employer do anything to help you lead a healthy lifestyle?

The latest episode of the Nursing Standard podcast looks at the impact of the NHS workplace on nurses’ health and well-being.

RCNi senior nurse editor Richard Hatchett talks to Jane Wills, director of research and enterprise, and professor of health promotion, at London South Bank University.

The pair discuss Professor Wills’ research into the prevalence of obesity among nurses compared with other healthcare professionals, and how a lack of access to healthy food and fluids at work can be a significant factor.
