Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Occupational Health Nursing is the established must have reference for both students and practitioners. Edited and written entirely by occupational health nurses for occupational health nurses and others, the book focuses on topics relevant to day-to-ay practice in the workplace. This third edition has been extensively revised and updated in line with new legislation, guidance and developments; with new chapters on 'Case Management', International Issues' and Musculoskeletal disorders and Ergonomics'.

For ease of reference, this third edition has been rearranged into four sections:

• Management
• International issues
• Practice
• Education and research

From review of the last edition:

'...this book contains a wealth of information that would benefit anyone involved in occupational health. The style is easy to understand and the information readily accessible. The use of case studies, examples of audits and framework policies and procedures are of added benefit to those new to the field.' -Occupational Health Review
