Description

 

Social work in health is historically associated with a role in health care access, community support and humanization of services. Health care organizations, policy makers and clinicians have developed quality indicators in health care organizations as a premise to higher quality standards in health care. The intervention of social workers extends beyond medical, nursing, education, rehabilitation, and social care services", but also requires attention to be given to the quality of care practices, which includes the delivery of care services at a granular level alongside their organization (mezzo) and their development (macro). In addition, contemporary health care requires new technological advances, to ensure that are delivered in a way that recognizes the need of individuals, but also address inter- and transdisciplinary dimensions. Recent years have seen increasing integration of health and social work systems requiring skilled practitioners able to navigate this technological world. This proposal aims to respond to these challenges, developing a future Erasmus Mundus Master Programme on Social Work in Health. The consortium is composed by Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon (Portugal, Coord), University of Valencia (Spain),  Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland/University of Medicine and Health Sciences (Ireland), and Robert Gordon University, Scotland (United Kingdom). The aim is to develop an educational master programme, focusing the development of theoretical, methodological, and instrumental skills in students to work in health and care at micro, mezzo and macro level in the context of public health, policy, leadership, management and evaluation. We seek develop a 2nd cycle programme that meets the demands of today's society, highly marked by digital transition, sustainability and new epidemics that affect the health and well-being of every citizen.

 

The future Master program will be an innovative bet, combining specialized training to promote levels of quality intervention in health services.
