It is understandable that most of us consider our health care as something provided to us as an individual by other individuals or teams, for example our doctor, midwife, nurse or dentist. But in this short course we wish to introduce to you a different perspective, that of population health.
Our starting premise is that having an understanding of health from a population level can enable people to make better decisions about their own health care and can also enable health workers to make better decisions about individuals and populations within their care.
The course is led by Aneez Esmail, a general practitioner and professor from The University of Manchester, UK. Together, he and Dr Katie Reed, the Faculty eLearning lead, developed the course with contributions from a number of other academic and technical staff from the Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences.
An Introduction to Population health, featuring Professor Aneez Esmail.
In this week we will introduce some of the main topics and concepts of population health.
An Introduction to Epidemiology, featuring Dr Kimme Hyrich.
In this week we introduce you to the language and methods used to understand population health.
The State of the World’s health, featuring Professor Mike Kelly.
In this week we take a snapshot of some of the big health problems facing today's world and explore their causes and consequences.
Global Influences on Population Health, featuring Professors Tony Redmond and Mukesh Kapila.
In this week we look at the topics of migration and poverty and how they are influencing the health of our populations.
Population Health Interventions, featuring Judith Clegg, Andrew Rogers and Dr Roger Harrison.
In this week we will look at ways of improving the health at a population level, including both individual and population based interventions.
The last week of the course features 'you', if you decide to take this MOOC. We will be asking students to post their own understanding of population health and how this impacts on their life and/or work. Students will be encouraged to reflect on the thoughts of other students, perhaps picking up on common geographical locations, shared professional interests or life experiences.
Each topic will also contain a number of short videos, a selection of readings, self-tests or quizzes and discussion board activities.
This MOOC is aimed at anyone wishing to understand the basics of population health. Our aim is to prompt any participant to reconsider the decisions they make about their own health or the health of others (if they are taking the course as a health professional).
