Engagement in global health

This area of the website provides information about opportunities for practical engagement in global health for students and qualified personnel alike.

There are a multitude of NGOs, many of whom offer opportunities to those who wish to learn more about practical engagement in this type of work, however for many colleagues, their first engagement with global health may be as part of an overseas Fellowship programme.

We hope that initial exposure to working and studying in this diverse field will promote a lifelong and sustainable professional commitment to advancing the global health agenda whilst also promoting new personal and institutional friendships.
