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.
