| Abstract |
This study involved a Delphi survey of employers and employees from public and private organisations, health and safety specialists and trade union representatives. It was conducted by a combination of telephone interviews and postal surveys. There was broad consensus about the required competencies of occupational physicians among the respondent subgroups. In the order of decreasing importance, the competencies were: law and ethics; occupational hazards; disability and fitness for work; communication; environmental exposures; research methods; health promotion; management. |
