UWC Winter School 2000
Public Health Programme
2000-05-15

The University of the Western Cape Public Health Programme is proud to present the 17th short course school in a series of Winter and Summer Schools held at UWC since 1992.

These courses expose health and health-related workers to the latest thinking in Public Health and enable them to discuss and exchange ideas on improved planning and implementation of Primary Health Care in the changing environment of South Africa. To date, some 4,000 participants, mainly nurses and middle level managers, have attended these courses, coming from all over South Africa and from many other African countries. Many of these courses are also used as the teaching blocks of the UWC Masters of Public Health programme, so the highest academic and practical standards are maintained.

Most courses offered are one week long to allow busy workers to receive continuing education with minimal disruption of their services. Selection of subjects reflects the main Public Health priorities as expressed in the Reconstruction and Development Program and the Ministry of Health White Paper. This year we are offering 17 courses covering a wide range of management, programme development and policy and planning issues. The success of these courses lies in their relevance as shown by the fact that many students come back regularly.

The cost of courses is kept to an absolute minimum, to allow the fullest participation.

NOTE: All the courses are accredited for continuing professional development for doctors and dentists. Information on the number of points allocated to each course is available from the Public Health Programme.

VENUE: Economic and Management Sciences Building, University of the Western Cape, unless otherwise specified in correspondence.

COURSE FEES: One week courses cost R1100,00; two week courses cost R1600,00. Late applications will be charged R1200,00 (1 week course) and R1 700,00 (2 week course) respectively. Fees for foreign applications: one week course US $600.00 and two week course US $1 100.00

COURSE TIMES: 08h30 to 17h00 unless otherwise specified.

REGISTRATION: Postal registration will be secured by submitting a cheque or postal order for the course and accommodation fees (if living at the residence) with the application forms.
