Hi Carr, All of the best of luck in your new venture. You have provided me and lots of others on this site with really sound advice and helped me to remain sane at times! I hope that you continue to have the time to do this. I also hope that you feel better soon. Kind Regards Lesley ________________________________ From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Carr Barnes Sent: 23 January 2013 22:45 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Big Changes Hello All Just a bit of an update to my circumstances. I have decided to end my working relationship with Atos Healthcare (after spending 8 of the last 12 years with them) and move on to pastures new. I'm taking a few months off to recover from some health issues and then the plan is to investigate setting up as an independent OH consultant in the Rep of Ireland. I also plan to train as a mediator to add another skill to my repertoire. I am scared and excited about the future in particular in relation to trying to develop an OH nurse led service as the OH industry over here (such as it is) is still very GP/doctor led; my first port of call will be to find an employment law specialist to help me clarify the legal status of the GP note, my opinion vs GP etc as that is not so clear cut or established over here. I look forward to picking all your brains as the months go by :) Carr ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
