"Contemporary Occupational Health Nursing is a book that all students on specialist nursing courses will want to buy. For those from any professional discipline wanting to know more about occupational health, or considering a career in occupational health, it is an attractive introduction to the specialism."– Helen Kirk, Occupational Medicine, Vol 66, No 1

"This occupational health text will be welcomed by anyone involved in workplace health management. It will be of particular value to students registered on occupational health nursing programmes as the material incorporated within it mirrors the standards set by the NMC for Specialist Community Public Health Nursing programmes.
