 | Pages: 44; Description: This workbook contains resources for advanced reading of participants to complement the 35-hour face to face session. Abstract: The content of the workbook equates to a minimum of six hours learning activity per module. The workbook consists of referenced materials, podcasts, web-links and related activities and questions. The references and other materials contained in this pre-programme workbook have not been systematically reviewed. They have been included to support the course content and primarily use WHO, and ECDC sources for reference. The workbook has been developed to ensure that all participants, whether undertaking individual modules or the complete programme, arrive fully prepared to participate and share their expertise, experience and practice for the benefit of the whole group. | |

Abstract: The learning objectives are 1) define the surveillance objectives, methods of hospital selection, and key data collection priorities; 2) list appropriate surveillance strategies and trigger criteria; 3) list appropriate surveillance strategies and trigger criteria needed for a broader pandemic early warning system; 4) describe how a sentinel site surveillance system for influenza provides an important support function for a pandemic early warning system; 5) identify five ways to enhance human avian and pandemic influenza surveillance activities in areas where there are known influenza A(H5N1) outbreaks in poultry. | |
 | Description: This training package has 2 portions. The first part is for hospital-based surveillance of signal events and the second part refers to the response of healthcare facilities once such an event is detected. We are not exactly sure where in your current categories would be the best place to locate it, especially since there is no surveillance section. Since it refers to health facilities preparation, maybe it could be included under pandemic preparedness? | |
 | Description: The document is providing guidance, tips and checklists to help on organizing and running workshops. It is covering logistic as well as training methods aspects. | |
