Overview

This 2-day workshop will support participants in exploring useful responses to the current global challenges facing health systems in this era of ageing populations.

  • Assess the community health through a population health focus, including risk factors for disease
  • Understand the importance of health literacy
  • Critique current models of care and consider new approaches to service delivery
  • Consider lifestyle challenges and behavioural changes
