Wednesday, 22 January Developing a dynamic workforce for One Health: WHO approaches and applications (WHO EPI-WIN Webinar) 13.00-14.30 CET, online Although it is well recognized that a multi-sectoral, One Health approach to diseases at the human–animal–environment interface is critical, in reality, operationalizing multi-sectoral coordination, communication and collaboration to ensure that the workforce can fulfil its functions, can be difficult. To address this, the Tripartite (WHO, FAO and WOAH) has developed a Workforce Development Operational Tool (WFD OT). This webinar will explain the overall approach for workforce development, and introduce the key components of the tool and how it can be used and how official workforce can be strengthened for more effective One Health operationalization.

Thursday, 23 January Working for Health 2030: Enabling Equitable Distribution of Health and Care Workers Across the Urban-Rural Divide 12.00-14.00 CET, online The question of geography often comes up in the health service delivery debate. Differences often exist between those living in urban and those living in rural, remote, and underserved settings, with those in the latter often having limited access to health services, increased needs, and consequentially worsened health outcomes. This seventh webinar in the Working for Health 2030 series, co-hosted by WHO and NHS England, will explore how to attract, retain, protect, and safeguard the health and care workforce within rural and remote and underserved settings while protecting individuals’ right to move and live where they choose.
