PHM-Exch> Fwd: University of Westminster Short Courses June 2014 - Influencing Global Health and Nutrition Governance and Leadership (23-27th) and Nutrition in Emergencies (30th to July 4th)

[Claudio Schuftan]

This course focuses on health through a political viewpoint, discussing
global health governance, leadership and health policy formation and
implementation.

As health becomes increasingly political in nature and policy processes
move beyond the simply rational and technical approaches, modern leaders in
health must become reflective multi-sectoral practitioners. They must be
able to negotiate the present vortex that is known as global health
governance, while ensuring that messages and policies continue to address
the political and systematic barriers to universal health care. Health
leaders need new skills to negotiate global partnerships, resolutions and
health promises and pledges. Because of recently emerged new actors they
also need to establish and maintain relations with a widening range of
stakeholders.
Who is this course for?

The course is aimed at international health leaders, advocates, consultants
engaged in international health planning and management, NGO advocates,
health experts and advisers covering health in developing countries. You
must have a good working knowledge of English and experience or interest in
international health development.
