My guest today is Dr David Maidment, senior lecturer in psychology at Loughborough University, UK. David's research focuses on developing interventions that aim to improve physical health and psychological wellbeing in adults with long-term conditions and disabilities.

I speak with David about his NIHR funded research project which explores how people with long-term health conditions can be supported by organisations to co-manage their health at work.

We unpack the concept of 'co-managing' and how it can be useful way to frame the intersection of self-management and employer responsibility for employee health.

I hope you enjoy our conversation!
