Health in Humanitarian Settings

Training Course • RedR UK

About the CPD course

The challenges of providing medical-assistance and health-care in humanitarian settings are many and complex. This course aims to introduce medical professionals to the key career-considerations - relating to roles in the humanitarian sector - including an awareness of cultural and contextual factors. The course will: discuss humanitarian health architecture; detail roles and responsibilities between/with key agencies; use real-life scenarios to enable participants to consider challenging dilemmas and draw upon case-studies and examples involving humanitarian principles and medical standards (provided by medical personnel recently returned from a humanitarian setting; who will share their direct experience and advice).
