The Department of Occupational Medicine consists of four specialist departments and offers specialist advice, courses and patient education within occupational health, allergology, diving medicine and maritime medicine. We provide the national service within the specialist health care services for elective hyperbaric oxygen therapy (pressure chamber), specific bronchial provocation for occupational asthma, the occupational medical examination of professional divers and the telemedicine advice service for seafarers (Radio Medico).
The term national services in the specialist health care services is a common term for national / bi-regional treatment services and national competence services. National services consist of highly specialized treatment and/or competence that should be centralized to one or two institutions in the country in order to be able to provide high quality services and competence.
Director Alf Henrik Andreassen leads the Department.
