Summary
From policy to practice; bridging the gap in public health training for grief, loss, and end-of-life care.
Public health approaches to dying, grief, caregiving and loss have been a part of government and palliative care policies for almost two decades, promoting community readiness and integration into medical training. But public health training is limited and emphasises surveillance sciences over practical applications like community development or civic policy.
Northumbria’s Master of Public Health (MPH) Palliative & End-of-Life Care is a unique course designed to fill this gap, aligning with public health policies and addressing workforce needs in end-of-life care.
Throughout this course, you will critically evaluate public health theories, policies, and practices, focusing on health promotion, improvement, care services, and civic actions. You will also learn to apply evidence-based approaches to design public health interventions, addressing health challenges across government, workplaces, schools, faith groups, non-profits, and other community sectors.
You will be taught by some of the key international experts in the field – from the founder of the public health palliative care international movement to prominent academic and clinical figures from global professional bodies.
Why choose Northumbria to study MPH Palliative & End-of-Life Care?
Unique Course: This pioneering degree focuses on public health approaches to palliative care, this unique course emphasises policy and practice over traditional research, reframes dying, caregiving, and loss as quality-of-life issues rather than public health threats, and combines interdisciplinary training with a focus on community-based care models.
