Occupational and environmental medicine: sustainable development?
Occupational medicine is evolving to meet the needs of the 21st century. There is a need to define the remit of occupational and environmental medicine in order to facilitate the development and maintenance of requisite competencies, the establishment of educational goals for practitioners and production of a professional product for the global market place. The delivery of occupational health services will be underpinned by quality assurance systems.
