Peter Kelly - Chair, Professional Practice Forum

Peter is a Higher Scientific Officer and Occupational Health Psychologist at the Health & Safety Executive, the enforcement authority for health and safety in Great Britain. In recent years Peter has been heavily involved in the development of official guidance on the organisational management of work-related stress in the guise of the HSE Management Standards. He is also involved in working with the Department for Health on the development of national policy as it relates to vocational rehabilitation for mental health problems.

Peter is keen to use his new role within the EA-OHP to foster closer links between research and professional practice in OHP, to encourage a culture whereby one informs the other through the activities of the respective Academy Fora. Peter is particularly eager to contribute to the development of professional career pathways in OHP. This will be achieved, in part, through the forging of strategic relations with national and international interested bodies.
