Disease outbreak preparedness and response: Education experiences and ideas

Groups » Disease outbreak preparedness and response: Education experiences and ideas

This discussion event was the first of a discussion series on outbreak preparedness and response to encourage sharing of experiences and reflections that further our understanding of how we can best support learning in these contexts. It included presentations on educational programmes developed in response to disease outbreaks from Briëtte du Toit (Infection Control African Network, South Africa), Maryirene Ibeto (UK Public Health Rapid Support Team, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK) and Renata Bernardes David (Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), Brazil). You will be able to access the recording soon on the UK-PHRST Knowledge Hub. We invite you to continue to share experiences, ideas and resources relating to education on the topic of disease outbreaks. What opportunities or challenges have you experienced relating to education on disease outbreak preparedness and response? Please also share topic/speaker suggestions for future events as part of this outbreak preparedness and response discussion series here or email uk-phrst@lshtm.ac.uk. The topic of discussion for each session will be selected from suggestions shared by participants providing opportunity for those in attendance to shape the direction of this series.
