Making the connection: refugee health, health practitioners and competency building
PREP IP (Persons with Refugee Experience Education Project – Interprofessional) aims to build a transnational and interprofessional network to strengthen the capacity of health professionals to address the health and well-being of refugees in an inclusive, equitable, and comprehensive way globally. Over the next three years project partners (hyperlink) are collaborating to create an interprofessional framework for action on online education of health professionals working with refugees, a flexible and open online course and open educational resources for rehabilitation and health professionals working with refugees. The project will also document the process of building partnership for inclusion.
Join us if you are interested in refugee health: On 24th May 2022 from 9.00 - 17.00 (CET) we present the first results of our cooperation and look at various examples of refugee health. The PREP IP Forum at Hildesheim is a hybrid event that takes place at HAWK Hildesheim (Lecture Hall 001 at Goschentor 1, 31134 Hildesheim, Germany) and can also be followed online.
Responsible for the project at HAWK: Dr. Sandra Schiller, Faculty of Social Work and Health, Hildesheim, Germany
