The Developing Health Course has been running
for over 40 years, equipping doctors, nurses and
allied health professionals for work in resourcepoor settings. It covers a wide range of topics
and includes practical workshops as well as
lectures and case-based learning. Alongside the
medical training, there is daily Bible teaching,
prayer and reflection.
The course is aimed both at those currently
working overseas who want to update their
knowledge, and those planning to go, wanting to
be equipped for the work they will do.
In addition, many who are simply interested in
international work have found it a useful
opportunity to learn more and explore the
possibilities of getting involved.
The course runs for two weeks, during which
most participants are resident at Oak Hill College
in north London. However, it is possible to stay
for one week only, or to attend individual special
interest days.
