By WHO
The health workforce is a key concern for policy makers, striving to maintain the capacity and improve the performance of their health systems. They are in firefighting mode with shortages and medical deserts having an increasing impact on access to and quality of services. A policy focus on “keeping up the numbers”, however, is not good enough (and may be unrealistic).
Countries are therefore looking to new models of care and at harnessing medical and technological innovations to transform their health systems so that they can respond better to the demographic, social and environmental realities of Europe.
This course will address challenges, remedies for the current health workforce crisis and strategies for adapting the health workforce to new models of care, with modules including:
- Forecasting and planning for new models of care
- Retaining and engaging health workersReactivating health workers that have left the sector
- Making medical deserts bloom ➢ Reskilling the health workforce: digital and AI
- Reskilling the health workforce: green skills
- Making teams and cross-sectoral collaboration work
- Working with patients and informal carers
- Future trends.
The Observatory Venice Summer School is a short, intensive course – a week of learning, interacting and debating, and a chance to share experiences with other policymakers, planners, and professional, harnessing collaboration to navigate the workforce crisis.
