Overview

The ‘One Health’ approach is based on the understanding that the health of humans, animals, plants and the environment are closely linked and interconnected. It is a collaborative, multi-disciplinary process, with the aim of achieving optimal health outcomes at a local, national and global level. This ‘One Health’ strategy is of paramount importance in the prevention and response to pandemics and other threats to health, as demonstrated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

In this series we will introduce viewers to the concept of ‘One Health’ through tailored 120 minute webinars led by speakers from the relevant sectors. Each webinar will consist of 3 talks, illustrated by cases, exploring the relationship between people, animals and ecosystems. The talks will be followed by an online expert panel discussion, with questions welcomed from online attendees.

Organising Committee: Dr Naomi Bulteel, Dr Mary Fraser, Dr Mike MacKenzie
