That was the point I was trying to make. Why should a solicitor
be able to charge upwards of £100 per hour and a highly trained, experienced
occupational health practitioner be expected to work for £30-50? Is it a
question of the perception of the occupational health practitioner being “just
a nurse”? (Yes, I heard that only the other day!) My argument is that perhaps
we need to raise the awareness of the value of the OH practitioner in people’s
minds so that they are paid what I believe they are really worth.
Note that I am not an OH practitioner, but one who values what
they do and feels sad that others do not share my view.

was under the impression that OHAs contributed to the preservation, and
occasional, saving of lives so where doe that leave your argument?
