Re: [OCC-HEALTH] Job Descriptions and OH Roles Interesting, what role were those paramedics undertaking?

 I can see a role for paramedics undertaking in-house first aid training. There is also a role for appropriately trained paramedics within health surveillance such as Spirometry, Audio, HAVS. It would not surprise me if some are acting as Case Managers in the very broadest sense of the term. I would hope they would undertake a co-ordinating role gaining reports from other professionals eg OHNs, physicians, physios, OTs as part of their case management strategy. I would have concerns if a paramedic thought they could undertake management referrals and develop return to work strategies without the underpinning specialist OH knowledge.

We currently have a course which can be accessed by other health professionals such as physios. In essence it is almost identical to the SCPHN programme. My rationale for developing such a course is that by OHNs sharing their learning with experiences with OTs, Phyios et al we all benefit. Most of our students and graduates tell us that such shared classroom learning provides a better insight into MSDs and rehab. Feedback over several years indicates that this is  more appropriate than shared classroom learning with HVs and SNs.

Have you heard  of LCOHPS? I went to a meeting there and there was a super talk from an OH manager from York NHS who was discussing using other specialist in the OH service. She has used paramedics successfully. See if you can search on LCOHP website for details . If not luck let me know and Ill look further.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Job Descriptions and OH Roles
Dear List,
 
I am on the lookout for some JDs and person specifications for Physio or OT roles within occupational health. If anyone would be willing to share any existing job descriptions could you please send to me off list?
 
I would also be interested to hear from anyone who has introduced any other roles into OH (particularly in the NHS) outside of the sphere of technician/nursing/medical and what the pros and cons have been. Again if anyone is willing to have a chat with me regrading this please contact me off list.
 
Many thanks
Bev
