Managing occupational health services in NHS trusts.
This paper, the last in a series of six, reviews the areas to consider when managing occupational health provision in NHS settings. It covers the operational policy, which explains the functions of the occupational health service. It then discusses the staffing and structure of the service and how it fits into the rest of the organisation. The concluding section is perhaps the most important of all; without financial awareness, understanding and maintaining a budget, the manager of the occupational health service will not be successful. Previous papers in the series appeared on December 14, January 11, February 8, March 1 and April 12.
