Hello Janet
I am so glad you found our course at LSBU is brilliant. We have worked hard to make it thus and so It is very gratifying to read that from a student.
Good luck in setting up your own business. As you are about to graduate from London South Bank University you are eligible to apply for business support from them. Our university committed to helping our graduates set up businesses, our new Chancellor is Richard Fairley, one of the dragons from Dragon’s Den. In additional to a bursary of £10,000 (which may be tax free) I think there is free office accommodation, stationery etc and coaching and mentoring for at least one lucky graduate. Contact David Bulmer, the manager: [log in to unmask]. I have agreed to be on the list of mentors for those who are selected for the enterprise programme so I would be delighted if one of those students were an OHN. The winner this year was an industrial designer, a runner up is a law student who has developed a range of cosmetics using natural products – an Anita Roddick in the making I suspect.
Download this RCN text Nurse Entrepreneurs – Turning initiative into independence – it used to cost about £10.00 now downloadable for free:

The RCN used to have Nurse Entrepreneurism group so it may be worth finding out about those resources.
The following
website may also be helpful – it is based in the US but may be useful to access none the less:

Hi all
I have just completed my degree in Workplace Health Management at South Bank in London. I want to set myself up as an independent OH Practitioner doing small to medium establishments. I am thinking along the lines of workplace assessments, noise, environmental impact and other health and safety compliance.
Apart from being challenging, it was brilliant. I recommend it to anyone. Theory and practical skills were well balanced.
I will be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction.
