Course Information

A distance learning preparation course approved by the Faculty of Occupational Medicine (FOM) for the Diploma in Occupational Medicine and the Diploma in Occupational Health Practice examinations.

The DOccMed was introduced by the FOM in 1994 and is designed for doctors who are working part-time in occupational medicine, or who have an interest in occupational medicine.

The DipOHPrac was introduced in 2022, initially open to registered nurses, and now available to physiotherapists and occupational therapists. The DipOHPrac enables health professionals to demonstrate a solid grounding in the core principles of Occupational Health.

We are strong advocates for multidisciplinary working, and as candidates for each diploma sit the same examination, we at EOPH feel that a combined distance learning course provides the best foundation for health professionals practising in the broad field of occupational health.

  • The EOPH combined DOccMed and DipOHPrac course is an interactive distance learning course comprising 10 taught days over 20 weeks, and includes teaching by EOPH faculty who are experienced Diploma examiners, specialists in occupational medicine, occupational health nursing, physiotherapy and a highly experienced employment lawyer
  • As the sessions are recorded there is flexibility to catch up if those taking the course have been unable to join the live session on a particular day, but it is through attending the live sessions that most value comes from the course
  • MCQ practice is provided throughout, as well as a practical approach to the workplace visit and clinical case elements of the portfolio, alongside practice for the viva

As a FOM approved training provider, we are required to produce an attendance certificate for each learner that must be submitted to the FOM when applying for the examinations.

Whilst we strongly encourage as much attendance at the live teaching sessions as possible, we can generate and issue an attendance certificate further to 100% of course resources being accessed on our learning platform.

We will require you to have accessed all the resources on the Talent platform within a particular timeframe, which ties in with the FOM exam registration period.  This timeframe will be discussed in further detail during the course.
