Hi
i am probably wrong but there doesnt seem to be much in the way of research based practice/guidelines for OH to follow, I think this is highlighted with the varied responses to questions posed? Is the problem lack of research at the higher levels of criteria, a problem for nursing and public health as methods are not so meansureable scientifically. I know there are some guidelines out there as higlhighted.
I found useful the RCN OH guidelines that I beleive are no longer available - could we ask for these to be reinstated - they gave gudiance on pre employment, confidentiality ect, I think there were 10 topic areas. Perhpas the RCN, ourselves in line with the competency framework should look to promote indiviudal research more?
Is there a bank of OH nursing research out there?
I have worked to policys and procedures but are now an indepedent practitioner and keep up to date with journals, jiscmail!, colleagues ect. I like to think I work to evidenced based best practice - the latest idea of best management but i guess unless someone audits my practice against a set standard (to be decided?) I wil never truly know?
The news of an OH clinical effectiveness unit to improve OH in the NHS should begin the way foward?
Best wishes
Lynda
