5th International Congress in Occupational Health
19th - 21st September 2012
Tarragona, Spain
The Federation of Occupational Health Nurses within the European Union (FOHNEU) is delighted to announce the 5th International Congress in Occupational Health to be held in Tarragona, Spain on 19th - 21st September 2012.
FOHNEU is a non profit making organisation representing the largest single group of professionals in the field of Occupational Health. It was founded in 1993 in the United Kingdom and has representatives from Occupational Health Nursing organisations throughout the 27 member states of the European Union.
Previous FOHNEU Congresses have been held in London, Helsinki, Strasbourg and Brussels. The 4th FOHNEU International Congress which was held in London in 2007 included the participation of delegates from 23 countries. All EU Institutions and Policy makers were represented at the event.
Our 5th Congress entitled ?Embracing the future ? influencing change? promises to be just as successful as our previous congresses. The Congress will look at how this large group of Occupational Health professionals is helping to influence the way in which we maintain a healthily productive workforce into the future.
This is a fantastic opportunity to reach Occupational Health Nurses employed in industry, commerce, national health and safety executives, governmental advisory boards and many other areas and workplaces within the member states of the European Union. Membership of FOHNEU is increasing with the on-going accession of new member states. Occupational Health Nurses are therefore the largest group of health and safety practitioners in daily contact with the workforce within the expanded EU.
