<aside> 💭 Everyone’s experience of chronic or long-term health conditions are individual to them. Some people experience mild symptoms that doesn’t require too much change to how they go about their work. However, those with more severe symptoms need to actively manage their needs, and may benefit from changes to their role or working pattern.

Often symptoms aren’t obvious to us and others, so we want to make sure that you know what support is available to you.

Introduction

Defining chronic or long-term health conditions is very difficult — many conditions are invisible and people may have more than one condition. Mental health, physical health and neurological conditions can all play a part in chronic and long-term health conditions, so it’s important that you let us know if you’re going through a difficult time and how we can help you.
