This is my first posting here so please forgive any errors.
I am currently studying for BSc in OH at Portsmouth Uni with Nancey
Ellacott. My dissertation is examing Occ Asthma and have two areas where i
need help:
1. I am particularally interested in the investigations performed within
the UK when OA is first suspected.
2. I am working as a RAF nurse in a large unit of 2400 personnel and the
unit could be compared to a airport the size of Glasgow with servicing of
aircraft and support machinary. In the last 19 years, in various units,
have not seen one service person diagnosised as OA, despite the current
rate of reported OA ranging from 800-2000 per annum. If anyone has
experience of what rate of OA we should be looking at within this working
environment i would love to hear.
Many thanks and i hope my first attempt has not been to novice
