Education, Training & Development overview
PHAST training has been developed over many years using a wide range of experts to provide high quality courses that meet the needs of different audiences.
The aim of the PHAST Education, Training & Development Strategy is to build public health capacity and capability within the public, private and voluntary sectors so that a greater number of people have the knowledge and skills to improve the health of the population, promote public health and reduce health inequalities in the UK and internationally.
In light of the newly identified government agenda, moving away from target driven care into a focused approach to outcomes, we offer you a wide range of training to suit many different audiences. Concepts will be explained and a set of tools provided to support the delivery of a ‘world class service’.
Whilst each training programme identifies their target audience, this is purely a guideline and discussion with PHAST’s Education, Training & Development Director, can help you to decide if a course is suitable for your needs. All PHAST training programmes are responsive to the Chief Medical Officers tiered approach to public health and are continually developed to ensure they are up to date with sector developments.
The courses in this booklet are all available to individual organisations, to be commissioned on a bespoke basis. At times we also hold courses open for general access, this information, updates to all courses and any new additions will be available on a regular basis via the Current Courses page of the PHAST website, or call 020 3479 5250.
Each full-day workshop provides the participant with 5 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points, with each half-day workshop worth 3 points. A certificate will be provided to each participant upon completion of the training course.
Course Examples:
A programme of training courses is open to anyone who needs to consider aspects of public health in their work, or organisation. These programmes can also be tailored and run for your organisation.
