Who Will Benefit From Attending This Conference?

This conference has been thoroughly researched with many of the leading occupational health professionals in the GCC and internationally. This research has revealed some interesting results – that occupational health is coming to the forefront of Government, Health Authority and corporate mindsets throughout the Gulf and Middle East; that business managers recognise they have to act, and act fast; that occupational hygiene is now taking its place at the vanguard of general occupational health; that Physicians are looking for the latest clinical updates and ways to convince senior management and board members of the business case for effective occupational health programmes and much more!

All this has been combined together to create a conference agenda that is unrivalled in the amount of value it adds for regional occupational health professionals. Over the five days of this programme you will find the answers to the questions that vex you most – from a selection of the cream of the regional practitioner, academic, association and expert communities!
