However, I agree with you that an appropriately qualified and experienced OHN with a particular interest in rehab should be able to develop the same range of skills.

I guess it really comes down to what they want the person to do, but I can only see massive value and learning from having OHTs involved from both physical and psychological aspects. If I was building my own dept I would defiantly be looking to recruit OHTs for their assessment, goal setting and intervention skills and knowledge.

I have an OT working as part of my team. I have just interviewed again and had another OT apply who was an extremely good candidate and very appointable (someone better on the day though). He had approached many OH departments and said we were the only ones who would consider someone without an OH qualification. I am sure that many departments are potentially missing some really good employees.

Can I suggest that to get best responses and to help those in the future searching the archives that another title would be helpful.

With regards to psychological rehab we already have a Staff Support service with counselling and therapy. We have very few people off with physical injury and they would use 'Access to Work'....any thoughts would be welcome Regards gillian ________________________________ From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask] < mailto:[log in to unmask]> ] On Behalf Of Tim Ellis Sent: 15 August 2011 14:39 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Donor consent following needlestick injuries in non- NHS scenarios Sensitivity: Confidential Hello List, help again please! This may seem 'bread and butter' to some of you but is a thankfully rare occurrence for me here at Loughborough. I am not attached to the NHS directly but still have researchers etc that are at risk of needlestick injuries. I am trying to understand, and tackle, the thorny issue of donor consent following such an injury. I am not directly involved in the immediate post incident clinical management of the injury. We have a policy for the recipient to attend their GP for this purpose, that bit's fine. The stumbling block though is getting the consent from the donor for testing/ release of info. I understand the donor should be asked to sign a consent form and undergo blood testing via their GP and for the results to be passed back to the recipient's GP. This all sounds good in theory, but how does it work in practice? Is there a standard form to use, or do we make our own? Do they take a copy of the consent form to their GP, and that GP corresponds with the recipients GP? I am reading guidance from the GMC and the Human Tissue Act etc but wondered if any of you out there in similar situations have experiences, protocols and standard forms that they would be willing to share?
