- Developing leadership and management skills for the organisation and delivery of child health services within a multidisciplinary and multi-agency framework
- Developing skills in critical appraisal and evidence-based practice of child health
- Developing an ecological and child-centred approach to the practice of child health
Students from a range of disciplines participate in the course, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of child health practice and enhancing the learning opportunities of all students.
Particpants from overseas are particularly welcome and bring with them different perspectives from their own countries and cultures. Course participants from overseas are requested to bring health-related materials from their native countries. This may be in the form of annual reports, development plans, national and/or regional health data and statistical summaries.
These will be used in the course to illustrate the range of issues faced by developing countries, and may contribute to project and dissertation work.
