Women in Transport – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode of Women in Transport, we’re speaking to Clare Murphy and Kate Walker about diabetes, and the risks it poses in the road haulage industry.

5 million people in the UK have diabetes, and amongst people who drive for a living, it could be as many as 1 in 3 with type 2 diabetes. The Road Haulage Association are on a mission to reduce those numbers, with their One Less campaign and support for their members to get tested and make realistic changes to their lives to reduce the impact of diabetes. 

In this episode we discuss those changes and the responsibilities of employers to address what is really a workplace problem.

Clare Murphy is HR Business Partner at The Road Haulage Association. You can find more about their campaigns and their podcast episode at www.rha.uk.net/About/Wellbeing

Kate Walker is CEO of the Diabetes Safety Organisation www.diabetessafety.org

In this episode of Women in Transport, we’re speaking to Magdalena Nowak about her life and career.

Magdalena began her life in Communist Poland, dreaming of travel and adventure. After experiencing flooding and homelessness, she left Poland and lived and worked around Europe before settling in the UK. She worked her way up in the NHS for ten years, before making the change to become a train guard just six years ago. But Magdalena didn’t stop there. At Southwestern, she has continued to thrive, now working as an Operations Trainer at Network Rail.

Magdalena’s story is one of courage, resilience, and leaning into change, that we can all learn from.
