NHS Employers hosted four events which examined the implications of the integration of Occupational Health Smart Cards (OHSC) into the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and prepared employers for the implementation of the Vetting and Barring Scheme.

NHS Employers recently ran four events around the country which examined the implications of the integration of Occupational Health Smart Cards (OHSC) into the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and helped to prepare employers for the implementation of the Vetting and Barring Scheme. The events attracted around 700 delegates, with London event being sold out, and got some excellent feedback from delegates. For those that weren’t able to attend, the presentations are available on the 'related documents' section of this webpage.
