We go by OHA to everyone else but our
internal policies call us OHNA’s – we decided to remove the “nurse”
word to avoid the “nurse” image being inspired as we try to move to
a more pro-active service. I have worked where I was known as the OHN and must
admit we got more walk-ins looking for treatment despite the lonstanding no
treatment policy – many people said that they saw the word nurse and just
presumed despite maybe having been informed of our role earlier on that week in
induction training!

Subject: re titles of oh staff
Hi all,
Does anyone know of any guidelines anywhere that give
suggestions for what titles to address staff working in OH? (No rude answers
now!!) What do qualified ohn's generally get called in your places - ohns or
ohn advisers? I know some are called advisers, but I presumed that this related
to those with an oh qualification, and that others were called ohns, but we had
some debate about this in Uni once and different organisations seem to do
things differently.
Thanks in advance for your help
Naz
