Details

Occupational Health and Wellbeing for British Policing aims to examine the role of occupational health within the police force. Health and wellbeing in the police is a rapidly expanding field both nationally and internationally. While there are many books and textbooks which consider health and wellbeing in a general capacity, there are currently no occupational health texts dedicated to this important emergency service. Improvement of occupational health in the police is a priority; this book fills a current practice vacuum.

John Harrison provides a wealth of personal knowledge and experience from working both in NHS trusts, and with Devon and Cornwall Police, as well as his experience as the National Police Chief Medical Officer. In Occupational Health and Wellbeing for British Policing, Harrison has curated a collection of resources to facilitate the development of police occupational health policy and standards and to improve the health and wellbeing of police officers and staff. Divided into four parts, the book explores occupational health practice, clinical issues, current priorities in occupational health, and the health and wellbeing agenda.

Aimed at both health practitioners and police forces, this book offers practical guidance on a range of occupational health priorities, such as setting up an occupational health service, assessing fitness, managing ill health, workplace stress, and more.
