Branch
Programme 2015–2016
Northern Ireland Branch
Welcome to our branch programme for
2015–2016. We’re delighted to announce a
selection of topical events organised for the
forthcoming year – some of which are being run
in conjunction with like-minded bodies, whose
support we greatly appreciate.
We’ve worked hard to put together a programme to
cater for members’ needs across Northern Ireland.
It’s worth noting all event dates in your diary – but,
in particular, we’d like to highlight the Northern
Ireland Branch’s 50th anniversary celebratory dinner
and the joint event with the HSENI and BuildHealth
NI. Hopefully, at these events, we can all dispel
some of the misunderstandings around occupational
health, occupational cancer, fitness for work, and
requirements for statutory health surveillance.
We look forward to seeing you at our events. If we
can be of help, or if you have suggestions for any
other events, please let us know and we’ll consider
them at our planning day for the 2016–2017
programme.
