National Health Centre aims to keep workers fighting fit
December 12th 2005

A new national centre of excellence to promote health in the workplace opened its doors last month.

Based in Buxton, the Centre for Workplace Health is the result of collaboration between the University of Sheffield, The Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust and the Health and Safety Laboratory in the area of occupational health and medicine. It aims to provide simple, practical solutions to workplace health problems through academic research.

In addition it will provide a range of training and occupational health services designed to minimise ill health and injury in the workplace.
