This session introduces the Healthy School Child e-learning programme, in the context of other related e-learning, and offers some guidelines in how users might gain greatest benefit. It reviews the themes that underlie the learning and, in particular, the biopsychosocial model. It also considers the changed priorities in child health in the 21st century.
The Healthy School Child e-learning is not, in general, designed to meet the needs of those providing specialist care for children who have complex medical problems or who need very specialist school settings.
Learning objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Recognise the different child health e-learning programmes offered through e-Learning for Healthcare, and where the Healthy School Child Programme fits, in relation to them
- Summarise the '4Ps' biopsychosocial model and its concepts in relation to child health
- Describe the concept of health promotion
- Review 21st century child health priorities
- Recognise the barriers to access due to culture, race, or disability and ways in which they may be minimised
This session uses self assessments that help you check what you have learnt. You do not have to use them and your answers are not seen by anyone else.
