(Occupational Medicine ) (Oxford Handbook of Public Health Practice) 'Any specialist in training is faced witht he ominous question-how do I do this? For the fully fledged practitioners it is often some time since they had to exercise certain skills, and faced with a new challenge need a reminder of how to approach it.
