- Launch of the Public Health Training Needs Assessment Tool for a consultation period
of six months
At the Stakeholder event on 31 October 2008 the West Midlands
Teaching Public Health Network launched its Public Health
Training Needs Assessment Tool (TNAT) for a consultation
period of six months.
The West Midland’s TNAT for public health, unlike other tools,
which may offer users a check list or series of questions to answer for determining their
training needs, is a guideline to a training needs assessment ‘process’ that is
highly interactive, inter-professional and focused on understanding public health training
needs in the context of delivering improved public health outcomes.
The TNAT is founded
on the public health competences detailed in the Public Health Skills and Career Framework
(PHSCF), launched in April 2008.
- WMTPHN Stakeholder event "From Project to Practice" - 31st October 2008
The launch of a public health training needs assessment tool and an interactive session on the
ambitious project behind its development – including the six pilot sites, each with a focus
on its own public health priority.
