Coping with Stress – Peter Gowers
Peter Gowers is an IT manager who has spent the last 10 years learning about stress, positive psychology and doing his best to support people with the challenges of the modern workplace.
Stress is a bit of the elephant in the room, with the HSE showing 4 million lost days to workplace injury and over 9 million to stress, depression and anxiety disorders. In parallel, a recent MIND survey said that 85% of people taking time off due to stress would lie about it. However, it’s an extremely personal thing, people’s stress can be as much about their home lives as their work, so what can you do?
Pete has been running presentations for many years trying to answer that question in an entertaining and helpful way. This talk will be a mixture of the latest science and thinking on stress together with some fun approaches to how you can deal with it yourself and help others

The role of the Coroner in work related deaths and a brief look at the costs associated with the greater investigatory role of the Coroner and Prevention of Future Death reports – Robert Greenall.
Sergeant Bob Greenall retired from Sussex Police in 2006 after serving in various roles for 30 years. During this time he won two Chief Constable’s Commendations (one for helping to rescue a lady who fell from cliffs at Beachy Head), a Queens’s Commendation and a Royal Humane Society award. He was also named the ‘bravest officer in the country’ in 2001 for saving a 10 month baby from her bedroom which was ablaze, despite being beaten back by flames, heat and dense choking smoke twice. Bob was chosen to receive the highest honour at the Police Bravery Awards out of 66 officers.
Since retiring you may think that Bob would want to put his feet up and occasionally mow the lawn but instead he went to work the East Sussex Coroner as a Coroner’s Officer. Employed by the Police, but working for the Coroner, Bob is a death investigator, attending suspicious deaths in the County from cliff falls to RTA’s and murders. It is his responsibility to take charge of the body and work alongside the Police in terms of the investigation; he also deals with doctors and family members.
Bob is also involved in workplace deaths and will be speaking to us about the investigation process from the beginning, including Police and HSE involvement up to the Coroner’s inquest and what happens afterwards. This should be a fascinating talk from someone on the inside for whom death is just another day in the office.
