The course teaches delegates all aspects of the syllabus for HAVS competence as defined by the FOM including:

Delivered virtually on day 1 and face-to-face on day 2 in Birmingham, the course will provide a comprehensive understanding of HAVS and the role of OH, enabling qualified OH professionals to clinically assess HAVS-related conditions and to undertake health surveillance. The FOM examination will take place at the end of day 2 of the course.
