Dear All
 
I am one of sevdeeral peolpe guiving guidance to a group which is attempting to produce evidence based guidance on people with asthma and employment:
 

Towards an evidence-base for the pre-employment assessment of people with asthma

“Guidance for the pre-employment assessment of job candidates with asthma” (PEGASUS[1])



[1] PEGASUS: Pre-employment guideline re. asthmatics for use in screening

 

 

Earlier this year a questionnaire was distributed to AOHNP members and about one third of RCN members. There was some discussion of this in the Jisc mail  OH group at the time, as some of those who wished to complete a questionnaire had not been able to do so..

 

The response rates were as follows:

-   SOM:               30% (449/1500)

-    RCN/SOHN:     18% (140/800)

-    AOHNP UK:      18% (55/308)

 

At the recent meeting  it was suggested that any  RCN member or AOHNP member who had not received a questionnaire could obtain one by contacting the researcher directly.

Therefore if you would like to fill out a questionnaire about what aspects of asthma and empoyment concern you,   and are a member of one of the organisations, please contact the secretary of the group:

 

 

Dr Angela Jones  Clinical Research Fellow, NHLI; Specialist Registrar Respiratory Medicine, RBH

You will be sent a hard copy of the questionnaire so please provide an appropriate address in your email.

Kind regards

 

Diane Romano-Woodward
