***FOHN ACCREDITATION SCHEME***

FOHN Accreditation scheme – open for applications

Experienced nurses working in occupational health can now apply for professional accreditation by the Faculty of Occupational Health Nursing CIC.

The FOHN Accreditation scheme is a voluntary scheme and successful applicants will be able to join the Directory of FOHN Accredited Specialist in the UK.  The scheme has been developed to recognise occupational health nurses’ progression throughout their occupational health career.

The aim is to assess good practice, endorse exceptional practice, and create a development route for those nurses aspiring to work at an advanced level.

To support nurses through the process FOHN provides:

1. Accreditation at a glance, handbook and competency tool.

2. All the documents you need for your application, some with examples https://accreditation.fohn.org.uk/

3. Workshops ‘Getting the most from accreditation’ which give you more information about what is required. Next dates: 15th April @ 11am.

4. Trailblazer list – providing 1:1 support for the first 100 nurses going through accreditation.

5. The business case for accreditation.

We know that going through accreditation for the first time can seem quite daunting and we want to make the process as easy as possible for you. As a member of the trailblazer list, you will receive regular support to help complete your application for accreditation. Let’s work together to demonstrate to others that you have a great set of skills, knowledge, experience and commitment to occupational health and professional development.

Accreditation is being discussed with various stakeholders and is gaining recognition as a key requirement to demonstrate competence and quality of practice. Be ready for that change.
