This module is designed for students who wish to practise, have some responsibility for, or enrich their knowledge of communicable disease control practice. As this module is centred on the application of core principles and practices, it should be relevant and interesting to a wide audience of students from different academic and experiential backgrounds. While it does attend to issues that have clear relevance to low and middle income settings, this module has more of a focus on high income countries. The module includes some aspects of epidemiology although those students wishing to significantly enhance their skills in this area are encouraged to take Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases (EID).

There are no formal pre-requisits for this module.
