Course content
The course introduces sustainability thinking in the health service field, with environmental, economic and social sustainability as important themes. At the same time, these dimensions refer to health leadership in the form of comprehensive environmental leadership, long-term resource management and human growth and development leadership. An important focus of the course is sustainable development of human resources, with emphasis on occupational health and models for developing health-promoting workplaces, including diversity leadership. This is explored in a health service and public health perspective, which presupposes a reorientation of the health services in a health-promoting and preventive direction. Themes concerning environmental sustainability in a health leadership perspective are also included.
