Dr Robin Cordell, SOM Past President, has outlined his views to local enterprise networks on the value of supporting older works in work.

In his feature for the LEP Network, Dr Cordell wrote:

“To support businesses in recruiting and retaining older workers in work, occupational health professionals can advise on measures to reduce the likelihood of ill-health and injury at work as we all get older, and also on adjustments to enable those (of any age) with health conditions and disabilities to be sustained in work.  Occupational physicians also advise employers on retirement for health reasons when this is the right time for that individual in the context of their health and work”.
