title: Partnerships and joined-up working: the millennium key?
abstract: Fresh challenges for occupational health in the new millennium include the European dimension and a series of frame shifts about what our specialty actually comprises. This paper encourages a proactive commitment to engaging with Europe and European law-making. A similar proactive approach involving professional, employer and workforce participation is urged for the development of occupational health. The need for prioritization and economic justification is required for underpinning this approach.
