A central objective of occupational health psychology is to make a difference to workers' lives through application of the principles of applied psychology and scientific research evidence. To this end, education and research in OHP must be translated into workplace interventions if occupational health psychologists are to practice what they preach.

The Practice Forum of the EAOHP provides an arena for discussion and sharing of best practice. Historically, the Academy's biennial conference has demonstrated itself to be the optimum time and place for such debate. With the advent of internet technology, the Academy is keen to encourage a momentum of debate that emanates from each conference and continues throughout the year amongst member practitioners.
