Practice Sharing: Forthcoming Events

This series of forthcoming podcast episodes brings together experiences from public health schools and educators around the world. Each episode will highlight practical examples of innovation and collaboration in teaching, curriculum design and academic development. Through shared stories and lessons learned, these sessions aim to support continuous improvement in public health education and strengthen connections across our global community of practice.

At the bottom of this page you are invited to tell us which areas you would like to learn more about or share your own experience in.

In this podcast episode, we will explore how one public health school successfully mapped its programme and course learning outcomes across both Bachelor and Master degree levels. By aligning outcomes across curricula, the school created a clear framework that supports progression in student learning and ensures consistency in academic standards and alignment to public health needs. We will hear directly from faculty involved in the process as they explain the rationale, challenges and benefits of this structured approach. Whether you are reviewing your own programme or developing a new one, this episode offers valuable insights into curriculum design and outcome-based education in public health.

In this podcast episode, we will explore how two public health schools, one from a high-income country and the other from a low-to-middle income setting, have actively engaged their local communities as stakeholders to reshape and enrich their programmes. By integrating the real-world needs of their surrounding communities, both schools have created programmes that are locally relevant while providing students with meaningful, hands-on learning experiences. Through community partnerships, these schools have strengthened the link between academic learning and public health practice. This episode offers valuable insights into how community engagement can transform curricula and prepare students to address real challenges on the ground and enhance social accountability impact.

In this section, we hear from a public health programme that has taken a comprehensive approach to coordinating teaching, learning and assessment across its entire curriculum. The school shares how it developed a cohesive academic framework that ensures alignment between learning outcomes, course delivery and evaluation methods. We explore who was involved in the planning process, how the coordination was implemented across the programme, and how its effectiveness was reviewed over time. This case offers valuable lessons in strategic curriculum design, collaboration among faculty and the practical steps needed to create a consistent and high-quality learning experience for all students.

This podcast explores innovative approaches to faculty development in public health education, focusing on the tools, strategies and support systems that help educators strengthen their teaching practices. Through conversations with academic leaders and teaching staff, this podcast highlights real examples of how institutions are investing in pedagogic development to enhance teaching quality and support continuous improvement. Whether you are a new lecturer or an experienced educator, this podcast will offer practical insights and inspiration to support your professional growth and improve the student learning experience.

In this podcast episode, we explore how educational institutions can take a proactive approach to identifying and responding to mental health concerns among both staff and students. We will focus on the importance of building clear, institution-wide systems that support early detection, referral and follow-up. We’ll hear from educators and experts as they share practical strategies for recognising early warning signs, implementing effective signposting mechanisms and creating a culture of psychological safety on campus. We’ll also examine the kinds of training and support can be made available and how it fits into our wider educational frameworks.
