Occupational health nursing practice in the United Kingdom: the European influence. 1993

J A Raper

Legislation introduced by the European Parliament has markedly affected the practice, education, and training of occupational health nurses. New health and safety legislation requires occupational health nurses to demonstrate and prove their competence to perform certain duties. The statutory body must create, for the first time, a definition of an occupational health nurse. A special body has been established to produce standard vocational qualifications for all workers. Occupational health nurses are the first members of the nursing profession to be involved in the process.
