 Open learning (MOOCs)

 

ScHARR is running 3 FREE open learning courses. These exciting new courses will take the form of MOOCS (Massive Open Online Courses) and will cover three distinct topics

 

1. Sustainable Healthy Diets) (registration now closed)  
This course introduces you to sustainable diets as a concept (what might a sustainable diet look like, what does it not look like?) and then takes you through some of the challenges involved in choosing food which is both healthy and sustainable.

 

2. Health Inequalities
This course explores the issue of health inequalities. It provides an opportunity to examine contemporary interpretations of health inequalities and related concepts like justice, fairness and equity. We discuss how different approaches to measuring, defining and monitoring health inequalities are influenced by social and political factors and how this, in turn, shapes strategies for addressing such inequalities

 

3. Health Technology Assessment
This course introduces you to Health Technology Assessment (HTA) as a concept (what it is, what it involves) and then takes you through the key stages in the HTA and decision-making process.

Anyone can register for these free courses which will run between June and November this year. Follow @openScHARR on Twitter for regular updates.
