7 March 2024 11.00-12.30 UTC/GMT (London)
Social workers are invited to register for the 2024 Commonwealth Health and Wellbeing Policy Forum (online) and complete the associated survey which will shape recommendations to Commonwealth Health Ministers. The survey closes on Monday 26th February 2024.
The Commonwealth Organisation for Social Work, in partnership with organisations representing health professionals and others, is hosting the annual Policy Forum on health and wellbeing on Thursday 7th March 2024 online. The Forum feeds directly into the Commonwealth Health Ministers’ meeting (CHMM), to be held in Geneva on 26th May 2024.
Recommendations from the Forum are directly presented at CHMM, creating a formal advocacy route.
This year’s Forum theme seeks to:
- Raise awareness of the impact of climate change and natural disasters on health and wellbeing, and of current health and wellbeing workforce challenges across the Commonwealth, particularly in small and vulnerable states
- Create dialogue within Civil Society around these challenges, share best practices, and agree on potential ways to address priorities by leveraging the Commonwealth network
- Develop actionable recommendations to address these issues for presentation at the 2024 Commonwealth Health Ministers Meeting, to support building resilience in healthcare systems throughout the Commonwealth
Social worker Annie Kurian, based in Sri Lanka, will join the panel discussion.
Take the survey – closes Monday 26th February 2024
