Hi Katie, I got my break into Occ Health by joining a nursing agency. A placement came up in Occ health (in Yorkshire) and I thought I'd give it a try, I had some previous experience as a practice nurse which I thought could be transferable. The placement lasted about 30 months, and I have recently been employed full time with the company. I hope you have the same luck that I did, and that you find Occ health as interesting, enjoyable, and fulfilling as I do.

Keep this in mind if you answer this message. Dear All I am writing after some advice, I am a registered nurse based in yorkshire, wanting to move into occupational health. Would any one be able to recommend where to start, with either finding work experience, and/or work. Are there any useful websites or sources where I can look for jobs? Also to become more knowledgeable about the role and job can anyone suggest any literature, websites and journals I can read to gain more of an insight into the job? I would really appreciate any advice Many Thanks Katie. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Hotmail is evolving - check out the new Windows Live Mail http://ideas.live.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
