Good Morning Anne,
when I did the certificate at Sheffield in 1983 this was there only course
available. I have no recollection at all of the option of diploma or degree
at that time and I believe there were only two or three venues in the
country that ran the course at all. The RCN may be helpful in establishing
the information you need as the course was then accredited to them.

Hi All
I'm analysing stats for my dissertation and OHNs have put that they obtained
the OH certificate between 1971 and 1994, the OH diploma from 1984 to date,
and the OH degree from 1990 to date. I need to establish if it was possible
to obtain these levels of qualifications between these particular dates in
the UK (or whether people have misread the question!).
I would be grateful if anyone could advise me if there is a published
article, paper, book, or internet site etc that would give the dates, and
that I could quote from.
Thank you in anticipation

Hello Maxine
Perhaps I can assist in clarification. I suspect that you are correct and
that some of your participants have indeed misunderstood the question you
were asking.
I am answering this from memory as I was taught OH Nursing at the RCN
Institute of Advanced Nursing Education (RCN IANE) from 1991 and was then
the course director from 1995 until we moved to London South Bank University
in 2000.
To my knowledge the OH diploma was not available in 1984 but I think that
there was a route through the Diploma in Nursing for people working in OH
(the qualification would have been Diploma in Nursing not Diploma in OH
Nursing - a subtle difference). Most people would have studied the OHNC as
that gave qualified OHN status and I don't think the Dip Nurse (OH) did. I
would have thought that OHNs who held the OHNC may have gone on to study for
the Dip Nurse (OH) as part of their CPD. In 1984 the OH qualification which
conferred qualified OHN status was validated by the RCN. The DOHN came along
when the validation transferred to the ENB. I am unsure of the date but
suspect it was around 1987. (I studied the OHNC in 1985-6 and I know the
DOHN was in the process of development at that time.)
Most institutions developed a BSc of some sort in the mid 1990's. The RCN,
as it was at the time, developed a BSc (Hons) Health Studies which
incorporated the DOHN in about 1995. Other institutions developed similar
courses at around the same time. The RCN IANE developed their first BSc
(Hons) OH Nursing degree in ??1997.
Did you make any reference on your questionaire to the MSc I think it was
first offered at the University of Surrey. I commenced the MSc at Surrey in
about 1995 and it had been running for several years before that. Jen Egger
the course Director at that university may be able to assist if you need
more info re that course.
I hope this is helpful
