What is COHPA doing?
Recently COHPA has been active politically in trying to represent the interests of the commercial OH providers to Dame Carol Black, Government and key bodies in the industry. We have met with Dame Carol and Ministers from DWP /senior HSE (etc) to put our views across about the future of OH. We have been invited to join Dame Carol's select committee for OH.
We have also organised and facilitated stakeholder meetings of OH bodies, again at most senior level, including FOM, SOM, RCN, VRA, AOHNP, RCGP, CSP, BSRM, BPS and COT to try to get agreement on how OH can move forward and how Government can be influenced. This group is now looking at formalising into an official body.
To support membership this year we intend to organise block discounts for Insurance and Recruitment services. The Board will set up two working groups, each led by a Director, and we will shortly be inviting members to participate. The Board see these areas as having the most potential for our members to obtain significant financial savings.
We will continue to offer members free seminars on subjects of interest. We will repeat our popular series on VAT and OH; hosted by a COHPA Director and an expert VAT Accountant in various regions. COHPA's recent AGM was attended by over 50 representatives from 40 different OH providers. The meeting included a knowledge sharing session, time for networking and presentations on Industry Pricing, tendering toolkit, working with HR, recruitment and retention and revalidation / appraisal.
Overall, we feel we are making very good progress in getting the views of the commercial providers to a higher level, which will help us play a part in determining the future for our industry. We do need to be able to tell ministers and others that we represent as many OH providers as possible, in order to demonstrate our credibility. Also, we need members to take part in the activities we are pursuing and add their influence to the association. Therefore, your membership would be important, valued, and give your company a chance to influence the future developments in OH.
