Hello List
I have been given permission by the list managers to ask a question related
to my degree in Information Managment formerly librarianship at Thames
Valley University Ealing.
Please could you take a look and see if it might be of interest? I wish to
see whether library and information management would be beneficial in
occupational health and would like to ask the list the following question
please:
Do occupational health nurses see a need for cross-training in health
information management to the extent of it being a profession in itself, or
simply added on to current job description dynamics? (The WHO describes
Occupational Health Nursing "as involving complex and highly dynamic
processes" - it may therefore be dynamic and involved enough already??)
If there were to be an option for cross-training would it be better for
specialist librarians to have a 'foundation training' in occupational health
issues, or vice versa?
How might this role be marketable??
I have distributed a questionnaire regarding preferred ways of seeking
information among the CLOHNG and the Leeds OH Group and other OHN's, (which
if anybody is interested in, I could send to you) am however still a little
fuzzy as to the overall view OHN's might have of cross-training in library
and information studies? Could it play a role in 'back to work' teams?? and
better collaboration between GPs and OH? thank you very much for your ideas
on this, I'd be most grateful for your fruitful insights.
Many thanks
Best Wishes
Iona Astley
