The National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health (NCCDH) is hosting an upcoming webinar exploring opportunities to move public health action further upstream.
This foundational learning opportunity will introduce the NCCDH’s updated Let’s Talk: Moving Upstream resource and explore the stream analogy commonly used in public health to understand downstream, midstream, and upstream interventions.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Explore the stream analogy for public health work
- Learn about downstream, midstream, and upstream approaches
- Identify opportunities to shift current work further upstream within their own scope and focus areas
