Occupational health services in higher education

Occupational health services can make a valuable contribution to the performance of HEIs, yet a pilot study in 1999 suggested that occupational health provision in the HE sector lags behind other sectors, with some noticeable gaps. This project will:

• survey all UK HEIs to establish a baseline and identify examples of good practice in occupational health provision
• disseminate benchmarking information and case studies
• establish a collaborative network to encourage the development, sharing and implementation of recognised good practice and ensure the sustainability of improvements resulting from the project
• evaluate the outcomes of the above work.
