Analysis

This project will be based upon a critical evaluation of your professional context in public health. It will focus on your current role, establishing and evaluating the key policies, processes and partners relevant to your specific work context. You will establish the context for your role through the critical analysis of the literature base and explore the factors influencing the efficacy of public health interventions within your own organisation, culminating in key recommendations for service improvement.

The assessment covers all learning outcomes.

This module focuses on the direct application of principles learned throughout this course to the learner’s own work environment. Learners will be encouraged to reflect upon their learning so far and situate it within their direct professional context. Taught sessions will facilitate this process through professional discussion and reflective activities.

This module focuses on the direct application of principles learned throughout this course to your own work environment. You will be encouraged to reflect upon all your learning so far and situate it within your direct professional context. Taught sessions will facilitate this process through professional discussion and reflective activities.

Key concepts will be delivered through lead lectures delivered through the university’s Virtual Learning Environment. This will then be followed by online synchronous discussion groups/seminars allowing learners to explore key issues and discuss the application to their particular working contexts.
