Course programme
The course is entirely online and you can study at your own pace.
It has six modules:
- An introduction to health and wellbeing
- Partnership and co-creation
- Types of audiences and activities
- Measuring impact
- Organisational change
- Next steps
Each module is divided into a number of sections on key themes. For each section you'll read a brief explanation and learn about a relevant case study, in the form as a short film, pdf or report.
You'll also be asked to reflect on your learning using your own experience and practice. These exercises won't be marked or assessed, but will help you to take your own work forward.
