About TOM and the TOM Audit Group
Trent Occupational Medicine (TOM) comprises an assorted group of Occupational Physicians from NHS, Industry and Independent Provider backgrounds who have been organising highly successful CPD meetings for Occupational Physicians and Nurse Colleagues in the East Midlands and further afield for almost 20 years. An offshoot is the TOM Audit Group, which has been meeting on a quarterly basis for over 5 years, led by TOM committee member, Dr Brian Platts. The Group provides an opportunity for Occupational Physicians to take part in clinical audit, which may otherwise be difficult for those who work independently, part-time or in smaller organisations.
