Hi Lesley, I have to echo the responses so far. I am Programme Leader on the SCPHN(OH) Programme (NMC Approved) noted below at The University of The West of Scotland and the Pre requisite for entry to this is 2 years post registration experience. At validation of the Programme I had to qualify my reason for this and as both Paul and Ros have said that experience of general nursing skills/patient communication etc is crucial. Once you qualify I would suggest you talk to OHN's and try and attend some of the conferences (students often get reduced rates and there is also Florence Nightingale Foundation and other trusts for which you can apply for funding). Your enthusiasm at this time will shine through and before too long you will be being approached to come and work for OH providers, etc. Stay focussed and enthusiastic.

I have been nursing for a number of years and when I came into Occupational Health I believed that I would be very well equipped for anything that was thrown at me! That was not the case it is so different, but I have to say that all of my years of experience with patients on the wards looking after their health has certainly given me the skills to assess and identify problems encountered by the workforce when they are ill.

My sole desire is to secure a position in Occupational Health just as soon as I can get my foot in the door, but I need a little help from a friend... The problem is: 1) My uni have pulled the plug on my OH placement at the end of second year due to staffing issues and 2) I can't get my hands on an OH Magazine for more than 24 hours at a time because of the silly rules my university library live by. Would anyone in the Nottingham area be able to offer me an insight day or afternoon as a sort of: 'day in the life of an OH Nurse'? And; if anyone out there is feeling charitable with old OH Magazines (not later than 2009 editions please) then I would happily take them off your hands and pay for the p&p if it helps any? I look forward to hearing from a kind soul out there who might be able to lend a hand. Lesley Armiger ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
