Aim:
To increase knowledge and skills in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases in order to improve case and outbreak management.
Objectives:
To better understand microbiological techniques and classifications
To better understand infectious disease scenarios encountered by public health specialists
To gain insights into the surveillance of infectious diseases in the UK
To receive an update on virology topics
To discuss aspects of how Microbiology and Health Protection work together and collaborate
Suggested learning outcomes
3.1 Display awareness of current national public health policies
3.5 Collate and interpret information and advice from clinical/ other colleagues to inform policy or strategy
6.1 Identify known or potential health effects associated with a particular hazard relevant to health protection which is common in a population
6.2 Characterise the hazard identified, both quantitatively and qualitative
6.3 Assess the degree of risk associated with exposure to a hazard commonly found in a population
6.4 Integrate hazard identification, characterisation and assessment into an estimate of the adverse events likely to occur in a population, based on a hazard commonly found in that population
6.5 Be able to complete a risk assessment for a hazard not commonly found in a population, drawing on external expertise as appropriate
6.9 Ask appropriate questions to recognise a problem when presented with a health protection challenge
6.10 Interpret the answer received and recognise the need to ask for relevant advice where appropriate
6.11 Identify and confirm the risks and possible exposures
6.13 Advise on and co-ordinate public health action required in the light of existing local & national policies and guidelines
