This highly intensive 3-week post-graduate certificate course is an executive/senior level professional development programme of value to health, management and social development specialists working in government, non-government and academic settings worldwide. It provides emerging national, regional and international consultants with an opportunity to enhance and improve their professional knowledge and skills in the provision and management of consultancy services within the context of international health and deliver technical assistance that is robust, evidence-based and grounded in the reality of resource-poor settings. This course aims to mirror the reality of working as an international health consultant and has a very strong emphasis on developing practical hands-on skills with a focus on both individual and team working for delivering successful consultancies.
Real Consulting
An exciting aspect of this course is the application of learning as participants undertake a team consultancy for a Merseyside client, including bidding for and planning the assignment, rapid literature review, face to face meetings with clients and other stakeholders, data collection and analysis, report writing and presentation of learning to outside agencies.
Testimonial
Professor John Ashton CBE, Alumni 2012
“This is a very high quality course and one of the best short courses I've attended. It is enormously practical, covering a wide range of relevant skills and tools for international health consultancy. This course is also really relevant to those in consultancy in Europe and the UK."
Dr Ebere Okereke, Alumni 2014
Following the IHC course, I was seconded to work with International rescue Committee in Kenya, working with them to develop a community health strategy and action plan for the refugee camps in Kakuma and Dadaab. I now work in the Public Health England Global Health Directorate leading a 5 year programme to enhance global health security through improving capacity to comply with International Health regulations
