About
Detailed Presentation
This course guides you towards a public health approach that is more focused on prevention and the use of data. You will learn to select relevant indicators, act on the determinants within your reach, allocate resources more effectively and turn health priorities into concrete action on the ground.
Overview
What this course covers
Public Health and Epidemiology is an online UpSkills course in Health & Social Care, organised into 2 modules, 8 lessons and 57m of content. Each sequence pairs theory with hands-on practice so that what you learn transfers directly to a real professional setting.
By the end of this programme you will be able to identify the leading causes of avoidable mortality, distinguish activity indicators from impact indicators, choose a denominator suited to the population genuinely at risk and build a three-level causal chain. These skills are built up gradually across the course, consolidating the fundamentals before moving on to more advanced material.
The learning path opens with “Public Health and Epidemiology” and closes with “Quiz”. The sequence is designed so each module builds on the one before it.
This course is aimed at learners at intermediate level looking to build their skills in Health & Social Care. It suits both individual upskilling and a company-led development plan, and needs no special software or equipment to follow.
The programme is led by L'équipe d'experts Up Skills; you learn at your own pace, with no fixed schedule, from desktop, tablet or mobile; an UpSkills certificate is issued once you complete the course.
