Secretary: Helen McIntyre
I have been a member of the MDOHG for the past 14 years, and have been a Non-Executive Officer of the Group for six years, until I became Secretary of the Group in January 2007.
I have worked in many areas of nursing before coming to Occupational Health. I am a former midwife, practice nurse and have also nursed in Baghdad, Iraq for two years.
I certainly feel my previous experiences have assisted me in Occupational Health, a field that is diverse and ever changing.
My entry into the world of OH is like that of many others. I applied for a temporary role in an NHS Trust as an unqualified OH Nurse and found myself a Qualified Senior OH Advisor/Manager five years later.
Following a career break due, to my expanding family, I have been back working in the OH world for the past two years. At present I am an OH Advisor part-time in the NHS and also do some freelance work.
During my career in OH, I have always found the MDOHG to be a wonderful source of information, support and networking.
Occupational Health is a unique profession that is still evolving, I think that’s why it makes such an interesting career.
