2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada: Sessions Jan 31 (Eng) and Fev 2 ( Francais)
Published on Monday, 29 January, 2024


The Public Health Agency of Canada has commissioned the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health to engage with the Canadian public health community in order to update the 2008 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada

 

Why is this project important? 

The Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada have been used:  

  • As a framework for public health workforce development, collaboration, planning and action.
  • To inform public health education and training (e.g., graduate public health programs, certification) and continuing professional development.
  • As a human resources tool for recruitment, orientation, position descriptions, performance evaluation and retention. 
  • As a foundation for discipline-specific competencies.   

 

Invitation to participate – Share your ideas and perspectives!  

The National Collaborating Centres for Public Health are committed to seeking input from a broad and diverse range of perspectives that make up the public health community in Canada. Core competencies reflect the essential knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for effective public health practice.

 

Have a say in shaping the 2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada. Your ideas and perspectives are critical. 

 

If you haven’t been able to participate in the engagement process yet, now is your chance! Engagement sessions are being offered on the following dates.

Chers collègues, 

 

L’Agence de la santé publique du Canada a mandaté les Centres de collaboration nationale en santé publique (CCNSP) pour travailler avec le milieu de la santé publique du Canada à la mise à jour des énoncés de compétences essentielles en santé publique au Canada qui remontent à 2008. 

 

Pourquoi le projet est-il important? 

Soulignons que les énoncés de compétences essentielles en santé publique servent : 

  • De cadre de référence en matière de perfectionnement professionnel, de collaboration, de planification et d’action en ce qui a trait à la main-d’œuvre en santé publique. 
  • De fil conducteur pour l’enseignement et la formation (p. ex., programmes d’études supérieures et reconnaissance professionnelle en santé publique) et la formation continue en santé publique. 
  • D’outil de recrutement, d’orientation, de description de poste, d’évaluation du rendement et de rétention du personnel. 
  • De fondement aux compétences spécifiques à certaines disciplines. 

 

Invitation à participer – Faites connaître votre opinion et vos idées! 

Les CCNSP se sont engagés à obtenir des perspectives aussi diverses que nombreuses du milieu de la santé publique au Canada. Les compétences essentielles réfèrent aux connaissances, aux habiletés et aux attitudes à maîtriser pour assurer des pratiques efficaces en santé publique.

Ayez votre mot à dire concernant la mise à jour 2024 des énoncés de compétences essentielles en santé publique au Canada. Vos idées et votre opinion comptent énormément!

An Introduction to Decent Work as a Social Determinant of Health January 31 12-1 EST
Published on Tuesday, 23 January, 2024

Upcoming Webinar: An Introduction to Decent Work as a Social Determinant of Health 

January 31, 2024 | 12 – 1 pm ET | English 

Work is a powerful condition of everyday life that can harm or promote the health of workers and their families. Employment conditions and working conditions are two interrelated social determinants of health. Workers who experience structural oppression are disproportionately exposed to the precarious employment and hazardous working conditions that are harmful for physical and mental health. As a rising source of health inequities, precarious employment is a key area for public health action. 

Join the NCCDH for this foundational webinar, where the team will introduce core concepts and practical examples to support the public health field to understand and respond to employment and working conditions as key determinants of health and health equity across Canada.
