IBS Awareness Month: Recognising Hidden Disabilities at Work
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is often invisible but its impact on work is very real.
Inclusion means recognising that not all disabilities are visible.
#IBSAwarenessMonth #HiddenDisabilities #InclusiveWorkplaces #VocationalRehabilitation
A diagnosis of bowel cancer can significantly impact an individual’s work capacity — physically and psychologically.
Recovery does not end with treatment, returning to meaningful occupation is a key milestone.
