Member-Get-Member - If you are a member of the SOM, recommend an occupational health colleague for membership! Every time you introduce a new member, we will give you one month off your membership. The offer is available when the person you are recruiting joins online and enters your surname when asked. Terms & Conditions:

  1. The introducing member must be paying subscriptions to SOM
  2. The offer is not available to trustees of SOM
  3. To qualify for a reward, the “recruiter” must be clearly identified at outset. Cases where the recruiter’s details are added retrospectively will not qualify for a reward
  4. The new member must be applying for full or associate membership only
  5. There are no limits to the number of referrals an individual can make. However, a maximum of three rewards will be paid in any 12-month period
  6. The SOM reserves the right to amend or withdraw this scheme without notice at any time 

“The SOM is an excellent source of information and support for me as an OH practitioner.  They offer the most up to date information affecting OH practice, including Covid-19 resources, and the networking opportunities have been invaluable.   I would recommend that all OH nurses join. Helen Parsons, OH Nurse”
