Dear Ms Ohov,
Innovation in noncommunicable diseases policy and action:
a course for prison health-care workers, 10 May–24 June 2022, online
The WHO Regional Office for Europe has developed a professional development online course for
national counterparts and clinicians. The course aims to review the latest evidence on noncommunicable
diseases (NCDs) in prison health, share successful NCD strategies used in the prison context, provide
insights into innovative solutions and further develop advocacy strategies. Technical guidance on
curriculum development has been provided by Yale School of Medicine, United States of America, to
ensure the course follows a learner-centred approach and equips participants with tools they need to
advance the NCD agenda in prisons through dedicated personal development workshops.
I am pleased to invite you to nominate a country representative to attend the online course, which will take
place from 10 May to 24 June 2022.
The country representative should ideally be a health-care worker (physician, nurse, psychologist or
pharmacist) with direct patient contact and have good communication skills so that after the course, they
can provide the same training to others in their country. The course launch on 10 May 2022 will also be
open to other people involved in prison health, including policy-makers, researchers, prison staff and the
general public, subject to registration.
By the conclusion of the course, participants will have:
• gained an overview of the global context, strategies and progress related to the NCD burden in
prison;
• been updated on the latest evidence and research on key NCD risk factors that are particularly
relevant in prison;
• been exposed to country-specific case examples they can use to review strategies employed in their
own national contexts;
• developed a deeper understanding of interventions that may be delivered in the prison context to
prevent and manage NCDs and their risk factors;
• developed skills in delivering interventions to prevent and manage NCDs and their risk factors in
people living in prisons; and
• acquired competence in training peers to deliver these interventions.

live clinical skills workshops and follow-up sessions. The working language will be English.
At the conclusion of the course, participants will receive a certificate of successful participation and
completion of course material. This certificate will be issued by Yale University.
I look forward to receiving your country’s nominated delegate with their name, functional title and email
address, to be communicated to Dr Carina Ferreira-Borges, Programme Manager, Health in Prisons

Innovation in NCD policy and action: a course for Prison Health
Care Workers
Scope
A professional development course designed by the WHO Regional Office for Europe for national
counterparts and clinicians to review the latest NCD evidence in prison health, share successful
NCD strategies used in the prison context, gain insights into innovative solutions and further
develop advocacy strategies. The course is developed with technical guidance for curriculum
development provided by Yale School of Medicine, to ensure a learner-centered approach and
equip participants with tools needed to advance the NCD agenda in prisons through dedicated
personal development workshops.
Aims
By the conclusion of the course, participants will:
• gain an overview of the global context, strategies and progress related to the NCDs
burden in prison, the latest evidence and research of key NCD risk factors that are
particularly relevant in prison;
• be exposed to a variety of country-specific case examples to draw upon or compare to
current strategies employed within participant’s own national context;
• develop a deeper understanding of interventions that may be delivered in the prison
context to prevent and manage NCDs and their risk factors;
• develop skills for delivering interventions to prevent and manage NCDs and their risk
factors in people living in prisons;
• and acquire competence in training peers for also delivering these interventions;
Delivery
• Pre-recorded video recordings which will be available for viewing 2-weeks prior to
course commencement on dedicated online course platform (these will need to be
completed by the relevant live session discussion)
• Relevant pre-reading material will accompany select pre-recorded lectures
1
• Live sessions with the facilitator and available speakers to recap and consolidate lecture
content and focus on participant experiences
• Live clinical-skills workshops guided by tutor/facilitators, with polls, demonstrations or
breakout sessions for individual work and group-work
• Follow-up of the implementation will be provided after the pre-recorded and live sessions
will be ensured by WHO and University of Yale
Duration
• On the 10th May an open live session will be conveyed, where the pre-recorded videos
will be presented (duration of 2h30 min).
• This session is divided in three blocks, which mirror the main domains of the report
“Addressing the noncommunicable disease (NCD) burden in prisons in the WHO
European Region: interventions and policy options”, available at
https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/352257.
• Between the 11th and the 18th of May, participants will have the opportunity to revisit all
videos and download the reading materials that provide support to each of the topics
covered.
• On the 19th and 20th of May, there will be seven practical modules addressing different
aspects of NCD prevention and management in prisons, in different moments to account
for time differences.
• Participants then have a week to propose an implementation plan for the train-the-trainers
model in their country and feedback to the group their proposal.
• Monitoring of the implementation will be pursued until the 24th of June.
Certification
At the conclusion of the course, participants will receive a certificate of successful participation
and completion of course material. This certificate will be issues by University of Yale.
