Workshop for prospective facilitators for Santrust's pre-doctoral training in nursing & health sciences

Santrust, a registered educational trust in South Africa, has engaged in PhD Foundation training in South Africa since 1999 across the spectrum of development-related disciplines. On Monday April 8th, there is a workshop for prospective facilitators for Santrust's pre-doctoral training in nursing and health sciences in South Africa. This workshop, which will be held in Dublin City University (DCU), is currently focusing in particular on Nursing and Health Sciences in response to the key challenges that face South Africa’s capacity within this sector. Drawing on appropriate expertise from Ireland, this initiative will be a catalyst for the development of academic and supervisory capacity to ensure a critical mass of high level nurse educators and the production of research in this critical area.

Prospective Irish academic facilitators must hold a relevant doctoral qualification, and have prior experience in supervising doctoral candidates.

Guest speakers will be Dr Anshu Padayachee (chief executive of Santrust) and Charmaine Williamson (Academic Coordinator). Please confirm your attendance by e-mail to: catriona.m.fitzgerald@dcu.ie

Time: 09.30-16.00

Venue: Room 206, Second Floor, Nursing & Human Sciences Building, DCU (Collins Ave entrance).

On April 17, 2012, the Irish Forum for Global Health and Trinity College Dublin’s Centre for Global Health held workshops on global health and development with approximately 85 transition year students (ages 15-17) at Donabate Community College. Activities focused on issues of health and human rights, gender, inclusion, HIV, power, and determinants of health. The workshops included body mapping, completing problem trees, doing a “living sculpture” activity, a bomb shelter scenario, 2-minute student presentations, and a student debate on the motion “people in poor developing countries have no hope of having good health.” An agenda for the day can be found in the Annex of the report.
