Designed for health workers who may be time-limited and operating in high pressure environments, this 30 minute video familiarizes viewers with the Global Competency Standards for Health Workers in a targeted, succinct and engaging manner, and equips you to consider how the Competency Standards may be applied in the course of everyday health service provision.
Refugees and migrants from Ukraine may face challenges to accessing health care, including language and cultural differences, institutional discrimination and restricted access to health services in host countries. The course introduces the nine competency standards across five domains, and identifies key considerations and learning points for health workers with respect to each of the competency standards. Six case studies are used to reflect common health problems experienced by people fleeing Ukraine. In each case study, the course summarizes the relevant Standards for health workers and health service organizations providing health services to these displaced populations.
