Salon – Studying With a Chronic Health Condition
02/04/2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
A weekly webinar to discuss careers and research topics. These sessions combine livestreams, guest speakers, and group online chat to exchange ideas, challenge, influence, inspire, and educate. In this session, we hear from Dr Edina Camdzic and Rachel Allen who talk about the challenges of Studying whilst living with a Chronic Health Condition.
Balancing the demands of education with the complexities of living with a chronic health condition is an extraordinary challenge. It’s not just about managing time; it’s about managing energy, prioritising self-care, and navigating a system that often doesn’t account for invisible barriers. How do you thrive academically while accommodating the unpredictable nature of chronic illness? Today, we’ll explore the strategies, tools, and support systems that can help you succeed—not by pushing through, but by working with your condition to achieve your goals.
