1. Society of Occupational Medicine
Are you getting the most out of your membership?
The Society of Occupational Medicine’s mission is to improve the health of the
working age population across the UK. A registered charity, we are the national
leader in providing continued professional development and education in
occupational health. Additionally, we are used as a forum for the exchange of
ideas, resources, best practice and networking opportunities.
By joining the Society you become a member of one our 10 regional groups making
networking and staying on top of current occupational health developments easy.
Our regional groups organize excursions, guest speakers, on-site discussions and
other events to enjoy throughout the year.
From our head office, we provide national CPD for occupational health practitioners,
as well as offering our members access to our quality assured appraisal scheme
to support their re-validation process.
We also publish Occupational Medicine, our international peer reviewed
scientific journal which has become an invaluable resource to our members.
Additionally, members also receive a monthly electronic newsletter with a news
digest, events calendar and important policy and practice updates.
Occupational Medicine now publishes free podcasts highlighting important
content published in recent issues and in-depth interviews with research experts on
key topics. There are also entertaining discussions with a variety of journal
contributors. Members can also receive CPD points by accessing the new Continued
Medical Education online tests relating to each issue of the journal.
Finally the Society has become much more active on social media. You can follow
the latest news on Twitter @SOMNews and @journal_occmed and keep up to date
and exchange information via our LinkedIn page.
