University of the Western Cape - School of Public Health Winter
School
---------------------------------------------------------------
19 June - 14 July, 2006
The University of the Western Cape (UWC) School of Public
Health, South Africa is presents the 28th 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 Pri-
mary Health Care in the changing environment of South Africa.
Many of these courses are also used as the teaching blocks of
the UWC Masters of School of Public Health, so the highest aca-
demic and practical standards are maintained. Most courses of-
fered are one week long to allow busy health workers to receive
continuing education with minimal disruption of their services.
Selection of subjects reflects the main public health priori-
ties.
This year they are offering courses covering a wide range of
management, programme development and policy and planning is-
sues. 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.
