Sickness Absence Management Referrals: Clinical Professional Development for Occupational Health Nur
Start: 17th September 2010
End: 17th September 2010
Location: Dunchurch Park Conference Centre, Rugby
First introduced in 2005, the NPAG has now organised ten Clinical Professional Development Programmes for Occupational Health Nurses. A further training programme is now planned to commence in April 2010.
The contents of the six modules have been compiled after discussion with managers and senior nurses in the profession and focus on those skills, which are considered vital in providing an excellent service. Please download a copy of the flyer which details all 6 modules here.
These training modules provide a standardised National teaching programme for nurses who are new to Occupational Health. The aim is to provide nurses with the daily clinical and professional skills and competencies that they require to undertake their duties. The practitioner will gain clinical skills, which will support further academic qualifications and training. It is anticipated that a nurse who is new to Occupational Health should complete these training modules within the first 2 years. The course tutors are Occupational Health Nurse Consultants.
The Sickness Absence Management Referrals programme is a one day course which covers the following subjects:
- Legislation
- The Role of Occupational Health
- History Taking
- Clinical Assessment
- Practical Participation
- Barriers to Returning to Work
- Advice Including Rehabilitation
- Effective Communication
- Records and Record Keeping
