Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Engagement with Institute of Public Health

2:00 am

Dr. Paul Kavanagh:

Yes, without a doubt. We need good quality training to make sure we have a workforce that will be able to meet future challenges in public health. We need people from broad sets of backgrounds with broad skills, including people with skills in history, policy and data as well as people with clinical skills like Dr. Mack and me. It is then about building career pathways and looking at the regulatory structures around them to make sure we have a fit-for-purpose workforce into the future, which is drawing people from various disciplines in public health.
