In a time when doctor shortages and unpredictable health threats and climate emergencies are becoming the norm, how do we ensure the public health workforce in Australia is equipped to respond? What can we learn from the response to COVID and increasing bushfires and floods to build a resilient health workforce? How do we work with communities so when the next crisis hits, we are ready to adequately respond to the needs of all people, regardless of where they live, the language they speak or their culture?
From what makes a strong leader in a time of public health crisis to which skills the health workforce needs to prevent tomorrow’s threats and inequities, our expert panel will explore the opportunities and challenges in building the future health workforce.
This event is part of In Perspective, a conversation series with leading experts to tackle the tough health issues from around the globe, hosted by UNSW School of Population Health.
