Book Course
HSL is to run a 1 day course on Occupational Medicine Seminar for HSE Appointed Doctors, Occupational Health Professionals and GPs.
1 November 2016
Introduction
It is important for practitioners to keep their
practice up to date and evidence based. This one day seminar has
been put together by the Centre for Workplace Health at the Health
and Safety Laboratory to inform and update about specific aspects
of clinical occupational health practice.
Why Attend
This FOM CPD approved seminar has been put together to align
with the HSE appointed doctor work requirements, but will be
suitable for other occupational health professionals and GPs with
an interest in occupational medicine. It has been designed to
inform you about topical and changing aspects of health at work to
include;
- Asbestos related lung disease and changes to the Control of
Asbestos Regulations - The Control of Lead at Work Regulations
- Health surveillance and its documentation under the COSHH
Regulations - Practical guidance on how to diagnose occupational asthma and
what is new in the field of occupational asthma.
There will be opportunities to feedback to the session leaders
and to take part in interactive case discussion. A certificate of
attendance and CPD credits will be available, and these can be used
to support both annual appraisal portfolios and evidence of
personal development for Appointed Doctor work.
Who should attend
This course is designed for occupational health professionals,
primarily occupational physicians, occupational health nurses and
GPs with an interest in occupational medicine.
Venue
The seminar will be held at the Health & Safety Laboratory in
the spa town of Buxton. Buxton is in the heart of the Peak District
and has good links to mainline train stations and Manchester
International Airport.
Cost
The cost of this seminar is £450 per person (includes
notes, lunch and refreshments).
