To apply the tool appropriately, first it must be adapted to be suitable to the context. This guide to applying the WHO ECCF provides a step-by-step approach on how users can adapt and use the ECCF in their context. Additionally, it guides users to develop their own competency framework and/or competency-based curricula for their setting.

This book was released on 2022-12-14 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the family planning and comprehensive abortion care (FP and CAC) competencies for the primary health care workforce is to advance improvements in FP and CAC service delivery by aligning health worker education approaches with population health needs and health system demands. This document, which describes these competencies in detail, is intended to: describe competencies that are relevant to current and future health practice; and enable widespread use of the competencies for curriculum development, for pre-service education, but also for in-service education, regulation, qualifications, quality assurance, personal development, performance evaluation, recruitment, management and career progression. The competencies can be used in many ways by the following target audiences: health workers and their managers, educators, policy makers and regulators. The most relevant uses for these FP and CAC competencies will be: to define the learning outcomes/objectives for education and training, to design curriculum and learning activities and to help identify learning needs/gaps (both knowledge and hands-on techniques), whether in the context of pre-service curricula, on-the-job training, or when working towards further qualifications; as performance standards for recruitment, compiling job descriptions, performance appraisal, and for optimizing roles within the health workforce.

Download or read book WHO competency framework risk communication and community engagement written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2024-05-03 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) competency framework is a resource that details the essential behaviours and activities necessary for effective communication and engagement with communities before, during and after public health emergencies. The purpose of this framework is to establish and promote a common understanding of behavioural competencies and how they should be applied for high-performing and community-centred health emergency programmes. It is intended to support the development of standardized training programmes, professional development and talent acquisition and to enhance the capabilities of public health professionals involved in RCCE. Its goal is to inform the establishment of a skilled, well-trained RCCE workforce that consistently understands and executes the necessary behaviours and activities required to conduct RCCE activities with competence and professionalism.

Download or read book Using a contextualized competency framework to develop rehabilitation programmes and their curricula written by and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide, Using a contextualized competency framework to develop rehabilitation programmes and their curricula complements both the Rehabilitation Competency Framework (RCF) and Adapting the WHO Rehabilitation Competency Framework to a specific context. It proposes a methodology for developing a rehabilitation education and training programme and curriculum that can be used to support competencybased education (see Figure 1). The phases and steps detailed (described in the box below) are relevant to those of any profession or specialization, either developing new rehabilitation programmes, or revising curricula within existing rehabilitation programmes. In addition to outlining the process of programme development, the methodology describes how competencies and activities modelled from the RCF can be used to generate learning objectives, and how these can be positioned in a comprehensive curriculum. It is important to note that whereas “competency-based education” is used in this guide because it is the normative term, the RCF differentiates between competencies and activities, and includes both (see Table 2).

Download or read book Implementation of self care interventions for health and well being written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-care interventions, including for sexual and reproductive health and rights, are among the most promising new approaches to improving health and well-being, both from a health systems perspective and for the users of these interventions. Self-care interventions should be an adjunct to, rather than a replacement for, direct interaction with the health system. These interventions are increasingly being acknowledged in global initiatives, including to advance primary health care (PHC) and universal health coverage (UHC). When they are accessible, available, acceptable, and affordable, quality self-care interventions hold the promise of advancing the attainment of UHC. Building upon the latest WHO recommendations and good practice statements, this implementation guidance includes key considerations to support the introduction and scale-up of self-care interventions in countries. In implementing the global recommendations on self-care interventions for health and well-being, countries will need to adapt them to the local context, considering the economic conditions and the existing health services and facilities. This guidance is intended to assist with that process and requires interaction with all health systems building blocks to ultimately improve national health systems in terms of efficiency, responsiveness, more equitable health outcomes, and social and financial risk protection. This guidance is relevant for all settings and should, therefore, be considered as global guidance.

This book was released on 2022-12-14 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Programme and curriculum development guidance presents a systematic approach to developing programmes and curricula for implementation of the family planning (FP) and comprehensive abortion care (CAC) competencies, and the theory behind the approach. Specifically, the aim is for effective implementation of these competencies in the context of pre-service education and training, post-graduate studies and continuing professional development (CPD). This guidance is designed for programme and curriculum developers who are preparing or revising formal education and training programmes and curricula for the FP and CAC workforce. This guide proposes a new FP and CAC Educational Design Model for programme and curriculum development (PCD). This model can support competency-based education (CBE) for current and future FP and CAC services, with a pre-service training pathway of at least 12 months, and can also support in-service training. With this guide, various instruments have been developed to operationalize each step of the programme and curriculum development.
