I'm sure this question has been asked before but here goes - Has anyone else noticed that many more employers are asking for OH advisors to be on part 3 of the register? I'm experienced and have what I consider to be a good qualification (PgDip OH, University of Birmingham) yet I would not be considered for some roles because I am not on part 3 of the register. I understand the need for accredited courses which ensure a standard of competency for occupational health but certainly when I undertook my course, which wasn't that long ago, there weren't many of these available. If I choose to undertake further study to be able to call myself a specialist practioner and enter the hallowed halls of part 3 of the register, how would I go about that? My PgDip was taken at masters level. I thought it was pretty good but clearly if the trend is for employers to request Part 3 of the register for OH positions, I will have to think again.
