The health sector is a leader both nationally and internationally in adopting knowledge brokering, transfer and exchange, translation and mobilisation tools and strategies to promote and enhance the movement of knowledge into action, foster innovation and achieve better health outcomes.  However the skills required are assumed to be pre-existing or acquired on the job, potentially  limiting the effectiveness of knowledge brokering activities.

The Knowledge Brokering and Health training course can be delivered in 3 modes:

• Knowledge Brokering for Health Researchers
• Knowledge Brokering for Health Policy Makers
• Knowledge Brokering for Health NGOs and Community Organisations

The Knowledge Brokering for Health training draws on the key topics covered in our sector courses that are relevant to knowledge brokering, transfer and exchange, translation and mobilisation in the health sector and delivers the units from a specific health perspective (including case studies, research, resources and tools).

In addition some key units are replaced with topics relevant to knowledge brokering in the health sector – for example Knowledge Brokering in Complex Systems

The Knowledge Brokering and Health training course has been tailored specifically for researchers, policy makers and project or program managers and development managers in the health sector.

The Knowledge Brokering in Health training course is a two-day course.
