Building the future One Health workforce

Abstract

What are the skills required by new graduates seeking work in the public health and health care fields in the 21st century? Skills that will help them address the issues of global and planetary ill health, environmental degradation, increasing inequalities in health, disinformation, using the new tools of the digital revolution, new philosophies of care like ‘One Health’, and new ethical references. The plenary will seek to answer some of these questions using a mix of youth and experience, and hearing from work in progress defining the 21st century public health and healthcare skills our societies need. Lessons from the EHMA ‘BE-WELL’ programme and the ASPHER curriculum review.
