• Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington – Work-life balance and recognising what is truly important
• Television presenter Fearne Cotton – Finding joy in every day and letting go of perfect

Dr Rupy Aujla talked about Hacks on the go! Other popular subjects were practical tips on mental health, back pain, fatigue, nutrition, financial worries, addiction and self-esteem.

The event was a chance for all in the rail industry to get tips and advice on health and wellbeing issues, as well as coming together to be inspired by the speakers. The Rail Wellbeing Alliance event this year saw evening sessions added to the schedule, which gave tips for shift workers on subjects like how to reduce fatigue and nutritional tips.

But you don’t have to wait until next year’s Rail Wellbeing Live, if you find health and wellbeing useful and interesting. The first Wednesday of each month, the rail industry runs ‘Wellbeing Wednesdays’ where a different health and wellbeing subject is discussed. 1st Decembers subject is ‘how you can enjoy a stress-free holiday season when it comes to family matters’. The online free sessions start at 11am. To register visit: https://www.railwellbeinglive.co.uk/wellbeing-wednesdays/

John Halsall, chair of the Rail Wellbeing Alliance and managing director for Network Rail‘s Southern region, said: “This year’s event has been a huge success, with over 16,000 people joining us over the two days. I’m really proud of how Rail Wellbeing Live has evolved into such a large industry event that encourages everyone to share and talk about issues relating to health and wellbeing. I’d like to thank everyone who supported the event and for being part of our mission to make the rail industry a healthier and happier place.”

“It has been a brilliant couple of days, but it’s not too late for others to sign up and access all the sessions on-demand. Just register on the Rail Wellbeing Live website to watch any of the sessions, between now and Thursday 2 December. We’re keen for as many people as possible to benefit from the inspiring content on there.”
