With the change of season, and the rise of nasty cold and flu bugs, I wanted to just remind everyone to please stay at home if you are sick.

Yeah I know, I know, you  have that important meeting/tutorial/event/long list of things to do…but…I’m pretty sure the world won’t end if you stay home for the day.

Apart from needing to look after yourself, also think about your workmates and our students. Keep in mind your colleagues and and their families who may have underlying health issues that could be seriously impacted by catching your bugs. If you are worried about a lack of sick leave talk to your manager – there are things that we can do to manage this. Also maybe have a back up plan in mind for important events.

Let’s all try and help each other to  stay safe and well this winter 🙂
