• What is Philip Atkinson's job title?

  Philip Atkinson is a
  A consultant occupational physician with 40 years experience of delivering occupational health services in a wide variety of industrial and health care settings. Was an Honorary Lecturer at The University of Manchester Centre for Occupational & Environmental Health until March of 2019. Good communication and negotiating skills are needed in almost all medical jobs, in occupational medicine they are essential and form the core of delivering a high quality service.My communication style is direct, transparent and honest. Achieving this without receiving patient complaints, I have had none in the last 5 years, requires some skill and experience when talking about potentially contentious and deeply personal issues. The day to interactions with complex patients is what motivates me to continue working. While just a personal view I doubt that one can prosper in this industry without liking people and having a deep curiosity about how things work, whether the 'thing' in question be the human body, complex psychiatry, interactions within and outside the workplace or industrial processes. My favourite quote (other than several by Douglas Adams) is from Richard Branson - paraphrased here "If you are offered an incredible opportunity but have no idea how to deliver it, say yes immediately, and then learn how to do it" I would personally add 'quickly' here! This drives curiosity, learning and skill acquisition, in my view. I rarely post here or elswhere, only if I have something that is new, original and of value. I am too busy for 'commercial' or advertising posts. Self Employed Lux Occ Medical
