Building Effective Health Warnings for Users: The First Mile Workshop and Roundtable Event
Time
14:00 - 18:00 (GMT+1)
About
Join the UCL Warning Research Centre and CUAMM Doctors with Africa to discuss with a wide range of stakeholders on how to build effective warnings for health issues, with a particular focus on emergent infectious diseases (EID). During the workshop and roundtable event, we aim to bring together a wide range of stakeholders to explore the mechanics of how the first mile can be implemented using all voices.
This will involve:
- Key examples, both successful and unsuccessful.
- Exercises, simulations, and scenarios for exploring and sharing ideas and practices across sectors and hazards.
- Roundtable session on how to raise awareness of the first mile and obtain policy and political backing.
There will be a focus on a wide range of health hazards including emerging infectious diseases and mental health.
This event is sponsored by CUAMM Doctors with Africa: Doctors with Africa CUAMM is an NGO working for the promotion and protection of health in Africa.
