“……There is increasing recognition that the implementation of a ‘*Health in
All Policies’ (HiAP*) approach requires new skills and competencies, both
within the health sector and across other sectors. In 2010, the World Health
Organization (WHO) and the Government of South Australia co-organised an
international meeting on HiAP, where new skills and competencies in public
health were discussed and documented in the Adelaide Statement on HiAP.

 As reflected in the Adelaide Statement on HiAP, action on the social
determinants of health is complex and requires a joined-up cross sector
approach. It recognises that a healthy population is a key requirement for
achieving society’s goals and that addressing the growing inequity gap
within low and middle-income countries will improve well-being for everyone.


 This course is being convened as a follow-up to the Adelaide meeting by the
Government of South Australia with technical support from WHO. It will bring
together practitioners and academics from several highly esteemed
international and regional universities. Professor Ilona Kickbusch is the
summer school’s Course Director and is joined by Course Co-Director Ms
Carmel Williams, Manager HiAP SA Health.



The course will build on the Adelaide Statement and, in particular, it aims
to:

·         explore the concepts and approaches to taking • action on the
social determinants of health and health equity, including intersectoral
action, HiAP, joined-up policy-making and shared health governance

·         identify and define frameworks and tools that • underpin HiAP
approaches, including policy innovation, novel mechanisms and partnerships,
sustainable development, new instruments and better regulatory frameworks

·         examine national and regional approaches to • shared health
governance and HiAP in a range of issues; e.g. non-communicable diseases,
health equity

·         review and share efforts of HiAP practice from • participants’ own
experiences.
