HCNUR6041 CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN GLOBAL HEALTH
This course explores the nature of contemporary health both globally and within Australia, and the roles and practices of nurses within the health workforce. Health is examined from the determinants perspective and burden of disease in Australia is seen as underpinning the policy and resource situation. The complexities and consequences of chronic illnesses are a particular focus, laying groundwork for the specialty courses in the course. Patients are seen as having shifted from passive recipients of care to critical consumers. Nurses are seen as occupying new and expanded roles supported by evidence-based reflective practice.
