Course Overview
This is a non NMC accredited course that provides a breadth and depth of theoretical knowledge necessary for effective occupational health practice. You do not have to be working in occupational health to take this programme.
You'll choose from a range of contemporary modules covering issues such as the legal and ethical aspects of occupational health, health surveillance and stress management. These modules have been explicitly designed to meet the needs of students in a wide range of practice settings.
On this course you will...
- Have the opportunity to develop intellectual, analytical, and problem solving skills, which encourage the development of mature and independent decision making, transformative reflection and reasoned judgement linked to occupational health.
- Develop conceptual knowledge and practical understanding of how techniques of enquiry enable the critical analysis, interpretation and application of contemporary evidence within your sphere of influence, thus transforming practice.
