Renewal of Public Health in Nova Scotia

 

Invest in required skills for a career in PH.

 

System is quite fragmented - this can make it difficult for staff wondering where to go or call. "Spreading responsibilities across two or three separate organizations leads to unnecessary inefficiencies and barriers and impairs comprehensive analysis and decision making." (p40)

 

DLP: I can see PHCPs being able to liberally draw on PH personnel and material resources...

need to have very strong lines of communication

 

Organization

Need to have integrated system: highly specialized staff who can support more front-line workers.

support needs to come to the DHA when needed; epidemics cannot move!

 

each action is interrelated though a project on its own.
