Description
Occupational health problems are increasing in consultations and in litigation. This practical guide bridges theory and practice by introducing the basics of occupational medicine and describes commonly encountered occupational health problems. It examines the effects of health on work; and the effects of work on health. The multiprofessional approach reflects the latest developments in primary care. Exercises at the end of each chapter enable readers to apply what they have learnt to their own practice and it can be used for continuing professional development in designing and applying personal development plans as individuals and as practice teams. It is essential reading for GPs and all members of the primary care team. An important update to the original text following the latest developments (at January 2002) can be viewed here
