Academy
This page is dedicated to OH professionals who are looking for opportunities in our company and also cost effective specialist training.
We have developed our own training Academy where our nurses are inducted, trained and supervised into delivering a CBT inspired bio-psychosocial model to our clients. Investing over £20,000 in its development and making a financial commitment every year into its future. We take our on-site nurses out of clinical work every 10 weeks to provide them with peer group clinical supervision so they can share best practice, case examples and ameliorate ideas and innovations in both these areas. This means we know what is happening in your organisation against the strategic workplace health and wellbeing aims of the government and business community.
If you are an Occupational Practitioner and you are interested in joining our network of nationwide practitioners we would love to hear from you.
"CBT has been integrated in to all aspects of the occupational health practitioner’s work within the NEC. The advantage of being able to have refresher days at Occupational Health Matters Academy has been beneficial in reinforcing the basic principles of CBT within an Occupational Health setting. This is really important when dealing with employees who are suffering from moderate forms of anxiety and depression."
"Extending the remit of the occupational health advisor with cognitive behavioural training can be the most rewarding, efficient and effective investment not only for the professionalism of the individual but also of significant benefit to both the employee and their organisation."
Fiona Kelleher-Occupational Health Manager
