Joint DOP and SOM event, free entry to SOM members and the general public. Registration deadline: 2nd October.

The Division of Occupational Psychology (DOP) and the Society of Occupational Medicine (SOM) are working together to raise awareness of mental health within the work environment.

This is the third year that we are addressing specific mental health concerns.

Our inaugural seminar in 2017 considered the challenges and solutions around mental health at work.

The 2018 seminar focused specifically on ‘caring for the carers’, more specifically how health and social care professionals can best be supported to ensure a healthy and satisfying career.

This year’s seminar focuses on those individuals who are working remotely, flexibly and precariously; those organisations that employ them; and assessing how they can be supported more effectively. A particular focus is on the gig economy, lone workers, and those who work within micro businesses.

The event’s diverse speakers will provide context to the occupational health concerns of these groups of workers. While it is accepted that work is good for individuals, it is even more important to ensure that workers have the resources they need to function more effectively within the workplace, regardless of how they work, where they work and the type of work they do. 

We hope that this seminar adds to the knowledge base of understanding what contributes to the overall well-being of this group of workers and provide the context in which they can be supported more fully.

Reasons to attend:

- The aim of ARIOPS is to connect all clinicians providing occupational health services to the railway industry. The Annual Conference brings together clinicians from across the railway industry to meet and hear about relevant railway themes.

- It’s a day to hear about new issues or to update on topics which we come across in a normal working day. It's particularly rewarding to have the opportunity to meet colleagues and discuss common matters within a sociable environment.

-The ARIOPS programme usually receives CPD accreditation to give 4 points for attendance for the day.

-The event will take place in central Birmingham, easy to get to from across the UK.

Please help to spread the word and pass this programme and link onto any rail colleagues who may be interested in attending this year's event: the more, the merrier!

ARIOPS look forward to seeing you on 14th October.

Note about accommodation: if you require accommodation the night before the ARIOPS Conference and AGM, it is recommend that you book individually via booking.com or via the hotel website: ARIOPS was not able to secure better group rates for our small number of likely bedrooms.

If you are unable to attend on 14th October, do renew your ARIOPS Membership (October to October) online. The link is the same as for the Conference; you just need to choose the “Membership ONLY” option once you are in the system.
