EcoHelper: Environmental Health Advice and Help

  By ,
É no EcoHelper: Environmental Health Advice and Help que uma professora universitária de saúde ambiental que pretende tornar facilmente acessível a informação referente à saúde ambiental de forma a ajudar as pessoas a tomar decisões conscientes e informadas (será isto empoderamento, do inglês empowerment?) coloca questões que lhe têm sido feitas e dá as suas respostas.

Helen Suh de seu nome e que se apresenta assim:

«I am a professor of environmental health at Harvard University. I am a great believer in making information about environmental problems easily accessible, so that anyone can make informed decisions about their environment. To make it easier to get this information, I am posting questions that I receive in my work and my responses. My responses are simply my interpretation of available information.»

Sugiro-vos uma visita a este blogue e, porque não, colocar-se uma questão para ver o que dali virá??

The Australian Institute of Environmental Health

  By ,
O sítio do Australian Institute of Environmental Health (Instituto de Saúde Ambiental Australiano) foi renovado e virou portal. Tendo em conta o tempo que se manteve offline, confesso que ansiávamos por poder aceder àquele espaço na expectativa de encontrar melhorias significativas e elas, de facto, confirmaram-se, como aliás se pode constactar pela nota introdutória que aqui se reproduz.
«Welcome to the Australian Institute of Environmental Health’s new Portal. It has been approximately two and a half years since we last redesigned our website and in that time we have simply outgrown the capacity of our design. In designing our new Portal, we spoke with many members about what they would like to see and what they accessed the most on our website. Based on these discussions, the new AIEH website now begins with the Portal (http://www.aieh.org.au/), the highlights of what is most important. In the Portal you can immediately access Conferences, Workshops, the Environmental Health Journal, AIEH Accredited Courses and our various Professional Tools. AIEH, as the peak professional body, can also be accessed from the Portal by clicking AIEH – Peak Professional Body. This section of the website presents you with the familiar menus similar to our previous website, but in a new layout and with easy to navigate menu bars: Branch Information, Employment Opportunities, Policies, SIGs, Newsletters, Events can all be found here.
The What’s New section of the website now has its own scroll bar to make navigation easier and to better accommodate the wealth of information that is uploaded on a regular basis.
The Employment Opportunity page has also been revamped providing a more user friendly experience. Please remember that some sections of the website e.g. the Environmental Health Journal, Newsletters, Policies, etc are accessible to members only. If you have forgotten your username and password, please contact your Executive Officer. You can find their contact information at the top right menu bar under Contact Us. Some sections (What is Environmental Health?) and functions (Search) of the new Portal are still under development and we ask for your patience as we work with our web master to roll these out over the next few weeks.
Finally, I would like to thank all our members who have helped us with this project. Your suggestions, comments and ideas have been invaluable.
The new design of the AIEH website is dynamic and designed to be continuously changing, evolving and engaging. We hope you take time to click through the new website.
We always welcome suggestions and comments.»

Esta é mais uma organização, à qual aconselho uma visita e que em breve, à semelhança de muitas outras (algumas já aqui referenciadas), passará a constar num “local” específico do “Saúde Ambiental. Salud Ambiental. Environmental Health. Santé Environnementale.“

International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH)

  By , ,
Foi deambulando por aí que descobrimos a International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH), ficando a saber um pouco mais acerca das organizações que a constituem e que oportunamente iremos visitar, fazendo, nessa altura, alusão aos conteúdos que eventualmente lá iremos encontrar.
Entretanto, acerca da IFEH – e sem tradução – referimos que ela trabalha para «disseminate knowledge concerning environmental health and promote co-operation between countries where environmental health issues are transboundary. It promotes the interchange of people working in this sector and the exchange of Member’s publications of a scientific and technical nature.

Amongst other things, the Federation seeks to provide means of exchanging information and experience on environmental health, to hold Congresses and meetings to discuss subjects relevant to environmental health science and administration, to represent the interests of environmental health to state agencies, national governments and international organisations and to promote field studies of environmental health control.

The Federation is an organisation whose full members are national associations representing the interests of environmental health professionals throughout the World. Applications forms for membership can be downloaded from the member section.

Other organisations with an interest in environmental health may become associate members. Organisations, which are involved in the educational field (for instance Universities training environmental health professionals) are eligible to become Academic Associate Members. Other bodies with an interest in environmental health (such as regional associations, NGOs, etc) may become Associate Members. Applications forms for these classes of membership can be downloaded from the member section.»

South African Institute of Environmental Health

  By ,
Apresento-vos o aparentemente desactualizado Instituto Sul Africano de Saúde Ambiental.
Segundo consegui perceber, (quase) tudo naquele sítio está fora de tempo, ainda assim, sugiro-vos a leitura da informação contida aqui acerca do CPD (Continuing Professional Development) para os Environmental Health Practitioners.

A Saúde Ambiental no acesso ao ensino superior

  By ,
Já estão disponíveis os resultados do concurso de acesso ao ensino superior e a Saúde Ambiental registou a nota mais baixa (nas tecnologias da saúde) para os últimos candidatos colocados, em todas as escolas. Confirmem seguindo as hiperligações que aqui vos deixo:
A Escola Superior de Saúde de Beja, que este ano inicia a licenciatura (1.º ciclo) teve 22 colocados (nota do último colocado – 10,97). Boa sorte para a escola, alunos e docentes (especialmente estes).

Saúde Ambiental em Beja, via Bolonha

  By ,

A Escola Superior de Saúde de Beja arranca já este ano com o 1.º ano da licenciatura em Saúde Ambiental (1.º ciclo), já adequado a Bolonha. Ao contrário do que muitos quiseram (e querem) o que acabará invariavelmente por vingar serão mesmo os 3+2. Confirmem aqui!
Beja já arrancou com uma volta de avanço.
Entretanto, com isto, promove-se a debandada de Técnicos de Saúde Ambiental em exercício nos Serviços de Saúde Pública.
Aos que foram e aos que vão (Coimbra e Beja), boa sorte.
