On this master’s programme in disaster healthcare you will study the key areas of theory and practice that are relevant to healthcare in complex humanitarian disasters, from resilience and response to mitigation and recovery. It is taught by distance learning and summer schools, and is delivered by international experts, including Professor Kevin Davies and Jeff Evans who has a long history of providing pre-hospital care in austere environments.
A key element of this disaster healthcare course is its strong international and trans-cultural focus, which is needed to develop and maintain relationships between colleagues in the institutions and countries that underpin the programme. You will study on a part-time, distance learning basis, with an annual two-week residential Summer School.
National healthcare providers, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and inter-government organisations usually employ healthcare professionals undertaking this award. Graduates of this award have taken up key posts with the International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC) and Red Crescent Societies, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Department of Health, the armed forces and with NGOs in Sudan, Iraq, Angola and Afghanistan.
