Subject: Re: OH course venuesDear ColleaguesWe at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen are very flattered by Jay's comments, but we are at pains to emphasise that distance learning is not an easy option, and can be very isolating. However, distance learning does suit some who have sufficient motivation and we both provide and encourage support through various mechanisms, including some attendance periods.
Please note that the new BA Public Health Nursing (Occupational Health Nursing) will commence in September 2004 and supersedes the existing degree course. The course is subject to validation which is scheduled to take place in May 2004. Details of our existing course may be found by following the link below, but there will be some changes in the new course; it will still be delivered by distance learning, but will require three short periods of attendance within the first year, and thereafter students will be encouraged to attend optional attendance periods. Two modules will be shared with other community health nursing students, and will reflect an increased Public Health input.We are also keen that prospective students choose our course after considering all the options, and attached is the list of OH Courses in the UK.p.s the reason for avoiding naked cavorting is more to do with the weather than Calvinism.HarryHarry Horsley, Lecturer

Subject: Re: OH course venuesHello James.Personnaly I advocate the Robert Gordon University course in Aberdeen. Yes I know it seems a long way off but the degree course is second to none and believe me, I've been around. It is a distance learning course for which you don't have to attend all that often. They keep in close touch by phone and e-mail. Their library is very accommodating and they also provide a close-to-home tutor. Unfortunately they don't provide condoms or naked men but then the Calvanist influence is rather strong in Scotland. What they do provide however is a course leading to a degre to be proud of.Incidentally I live in Lincolnshire and South Bank would have been closer but then if you want quality.......Jay~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.

Hello all,
Does anyone have a list of where OH courses are run? I have a colleague who thinks the only place is the South Bank University. I think there are closer venues to the Luton area..but where?
With kind regards,
