Education is no longer about teaching; it is about learning.

The teaching of occupational and public health has had to evolve and synchronise with this learner-centric paradigm. From undergraduate to Masters programmes, through lifelong learning and continuous education initiatives, focusing on the needs of the adult learner has allowed us to better create educational experiences that facilitate effective learning.
