The Faculty has launched a new Diploma in Occupational Health Practice that is initially available for Registered Nurses. It is designed to help those already working in occupational health to progress their career and encourage others to move into the sector.
Investing in occupational health (OH) is fundamental if we want to improve the health and wellbeing of the UK population. The majority of adults spend a significant amount of time in work and OH is vital to improving people’s health for the better.
Professor Ira Madan, FOM’s Academic Dean, said: “The effects of the pandemic and post-COVID syndrome have underlined the value occupational health provides in helping people remain in, or return to, work following ill health.
“This new diploma will enable registered healthcare professionals gain the skills to develop their career or make the move into this rewarding sector.”
