CPD: Work and health fundamentals for early careers OH (webinar)

Exclusive OHW+ Premium webinar. Tuesday 21 March, 2:00pm GMT

The occupational health professional’s role has never been so critical.

Not only has the UK government finally recognised the need to help those with long-term conditions remain in work – ­­­­­­a priority that OH professionals are well-placed to support – but OH teams are also busier than ever, advising employers on how they can support people with conditions exacerbated or triggered by the Covid pandemic.

As more clinical professionals see work and health incorporated into their roles, or transition to a role in OH, it is essential they understand the fundamentals of the specialty.

On 21 March, Ashleigh Webber, editor of OHW+, is joined by Anne Harriss, emeritus professor of occupational health and past president of the Society of Occupational Medicine, for an educational webinar aimed at early careers occupational health practitioners and OH technicians.

The webinar covers:

• How work affects health, and health affects work
• OH’s role in promoting public health priorities
• How OH’s responsibilities differ from the general practitioner’s role
• How risk assessments should be approached
• The importance of occupational hygiene.

This one-hour webinar, at 2:00pm on 21 March, is available exclusively to OHW+ Premium members, and features a presentation followed by a Q&A session.

OHW+ Premium members will receive an invitation to register in due course. Become a Premium member now to join this webinar.
