It's International Control Room Week and to mark the event, we're thanking all our incredible support staff across the UK's fire services community for all they do. Reaching the point of retirement can bring with it very conflicting feelings – but there are some things you can do to help you come to terms with your new normal. There are some small steps you can take which could reduce your risk of developing cervical, ovarian, uterine, breast or vaginal cancers. For the past ten years we’ve been working with Professor Rowena Hill to better understand the health and wellbeing of the UK’s fire services. Here, Professor Hill explains why research is so vital in planning future support for our fire family. Knowing how to cope with the uncertainty cancer can bring is so important – and there are a few steps you could take to ensure you’re looking after yourself.
