CPHA Leadership for Health Equity: Building Public Health Leadership Capacity for Action
![]()
This workshop will explore attributes of effective public health leadership for health equity at the individual, organizational and systems level using a range of participatory approaches and multimedia tools.
The National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health has implemented a Public Health Leadership Initiative that has engaged public health leadership through an appreciative inquiry process, reviewed relevant literature, and developed several case studies to help guide practitioners. Over the long term, it is anticipated that public health leadership capacity will be strengthened at all levels so that transformative action on the social determinants of health can occur.
Using case studies and a progressive disclosure technique, the session will anchor on four practices for improving health equity: competencies/organizational standards, purposeful reporting, intersectoral action and community engagement. The session will interest leaders at all levels, including practitioners, middle and senior managers, program decisionmakers, educators, researchers, policy-makers, and funders. Additional registration fee required ($50).
