Occupational health practice. This research is consistent with the ‘mutual research group’ concept that refers to mutually beneficial collaborations between individuals who possess access to organisational data sets and those who hold academic writing and research design expertise. The research is centred on the production of practitioner-orientated publications that share the lessons of practitioner-led, organisationally-embedded empirical investigations.
