Workshop follow up
The FPH International Committee will work to move forward some of the key recommendations and actions arising from the workshop as part of its ongoing work programme. In particular:
- Continue with its advocacy in helping gain greater awareness of the benefits of international placements (through the NHS Confederation, chief executives and board members)
- Continue to work with deaneries to facilitate a systematic approach that supports individuals who wish to undertake overseas work.
- Support the building of skills in public health by addressing the key areas and needs in consultancy such as: building health systems, capacity development and primary care development. FPH can support regional and national governments to build, strengthen and improve public health workforce skills.
Further information on the work of the FPH International Committee is available from the FPH website:
