Public Health University of Cumbria

Overview

It supports staff progression in accordance with the standards developed by the UK Faculty of Public Health and Royal Society of Public Health in their professional skills and knowledge framework; we will also blend in equivalent requirements from overseas colleges and faculties where our international students are drawn from. Global standards endorsed by WHO and ICRC will also be addressed by studying their evolution from the UN’s declaration to provide health for all by the year 2000 to the ongoing Health Care in Danger programme managed by the ICRC and other significant milestones.
