课程简介

课程名称:公共健康实践基础:健康保护 概述:健康保护课程是帝国理工学院全球公共健康硕士(MPH)更广泛的公共健康实践基础专业中的第四部分。本课程的内容是由学术界和实践界的专家团队共同开发的,结合了数十年的实际公共健康经验与深厚的学术知识。通过简短的视频讲座、从业者访谈以及各种互动活动,学习者将沉浸在公共健康实践的世界中。 本课程面向新入门的学习者,分为三个模块(预计三周的学习时间),学习者将熟悉健康保护的范围、原则和细微差别,特别是在公共健康实践的背景下。课程从水、卫生和健康(WASH)相关干预的基础知识开始,随后介绍实用微生物学的科学与原则,接着探讨疫苗、事件管理以及各种人为和自然环境威胁带来的挑战。课程结束时,学习者将熟悉核心健康保护原则和方法,并能自信地讨论健康保护相关问题,以便在实践中应用。 课程大纲: 模块一:水、卫生和传染病 本模块旨在引入学习者了解操作和战略健康保护领域,首先介绍基于WASH的倡议,并在第二课中讲解基本微生物学和传染病控制的科学基础。 模块二:疫苗与传染病管理 本模块涵盖疫苗的科学与实践。在第一课中,学习者将了解疫苗对全球发病率的影响及其证据基础,并讨论强制接种的伦理含义。同时,在第二课中将综合本课程的学习,介绍传染病控制及健康保护事件的管理。 模块三:环境危害与战略健康保护威胁 本模块探讨健康保护的非传染病元素,包括对CBRN(化学、生物、放射和核)威胁的介绍,以及在重大事件和健康紧急情况下的公共健康方法。学习者将首先了解空气质量这一新兴公共健康主题,并具体探讨导致伦敦超低排放区的各种情况,随后以2011年福岛第一核电站辐射事件为案例深入研究CBRN。

课程大纲

Name:Module One: Water, sanitation and infectious diseases

Description:This fourth course, "Health Protection", part of the wider Foundations of Public Health Practice specialisation, is designed to introduce learners to the area of operational and strategic health protection. This first module, entitled "Water, sanitation and infectious diseases" introduces learners to WASH-based initiatives before, in the second lesson, bringing learners up to speed on basic microbiology and the science that underpins communicable disease control.

Name:Module Two: Vaccines and management of communicable disease

Description:This fourth course, "Health Protection", part of the wider Foundations of Public Health Practice specialisation, is designed to introduce learners to the area of operational and strategic health protection. This second module, entitled "Vaccines and communicable disease control" will cover the science and practice of vaccines. In the first lesson learners are introduced to the evidence-base and impact that vaccines have had on morbidity globally. Some of the main global players are also introduced before discussion of the ethical implications of mandatory vaccination (building on learning from the first course of this specialisation "The Public Health Approach"). Bringing all of the learning on this course together, the second lesson introduces communicable disease control and the management of health protection incidents.

Name:Module Three: Environmental hazards and strategic health protection threats

Description:This fourth course, "Health Protection", part of the wider Foundations of Public Health Practice specialisation, is designed to introduce learners to the area of operational and strategic health protection. This third module, entitled "Environmental hazards and strategic health protection threats" examines the non-communicable disease elements of health protection - with an introduction to CBRN and exploration of the public health approach in the context of major incidents and health emergencies. In the first lesson learners are introduced to the emerging public health topic of air quality: with specific exploration of the collision of circumstances leading to London's Ultra Low Emission Zone. The second lesson moves into CBRN with a case study of the Fukushima Daiichi radiological incident of 2011.

The Health Protection course is the fourth instalment of the wider Foundations of Public Health Practice specialisation from Imperial College London's Global Master of Public Health (MPH). The scope and content of this course has been developed from the ground up by a combined team of academics and practitioners drawing on decades of real-world public health experience as well as deep academic knowledge. Through short video lectures, practitioner interviews and a wide range of interactive activities, learners will be immersed in the world of public health practice. Designed for those new to the discipline, over three modules (intended for three weeks of learning), learners will become familiar with the scope, principles and nuances of health protection in the context of public health practice. Beginning with the basics of Water, Sanitation and Health (WASH) based interventions, the course will introduce learners to the science and principles of practical microbiology, before examining vaccines, incident management and the threat posed by a wide range of manmade and natural environmental threats. By the end of this course, learners will be familiar and conversant with core health protection principles and approaches, and confident in discussing health protection issues when they move into practice.
