2014 Study Experience to Great Britain:
Health Education and Health Promotion Practices

The overall purpose of this popular Study Experience to Great Britain (offered since 1989) is to foster more health-related linkages and partnerships between the United States and Great Britain. A major focus of this study experience is having the participants become engaged in an in-depth professional and cultural experience to include focused visits and discussions.

Goals of the Study Experience:

• To provide an overview of the health care system offered through the National Health Service (NHS) and other providers in Great Britain
• To compare and contrast the British health care system with the systems of health care delivery in the United States
• To provide an overview of health education and health promotion strategies for health enhancement (individual and population-based) in Great Britain
• To compare and contrast the British health education and health promotion strategies with the strategies applied in the United States
• To connect participants with key cultural aspects of Great Britain that have health related impacts
• To engage participants in experiences that align with their interests and professional needs
• To provide an historic, social and cultural context for health and health promotion in Great Britain
