Hi Public Health Friends, It's been a year since I've posted an thats because eI did a long video on Part 1 of a Practical Policy Analysis video. Unfortunately my iMac was too old to cope with the 2 hours of video screen recording. That alongside doing an analysis in real time meant I need to do a lot of editing to make as easy to understand as possible. I hope you find it useful, I'm quite pleased with how its turned out though there are a few little errors and mistakes I didn't spot until it was too late to do anything about them. I'm hoping I can publish more regularly in a couple of months time. Hope you're having an adventure!

I've also gone through the 'Public Health Careers' playlist and realised that the advice only makes sense of the videos are categorised by country or region that they are discussing the jobs/careers about. I haven't had a chance to watch them and then order them or delete any that aren't on topic. I'll do that sometime over the coming weeks. I'll leave the USA playlist for last! Interestingly, though not comprehensive, my first search identified the following number of career videos by country, barring errors in categorising: The first three playlists are not in alphabetical order, the rest are. Public Health Careers - Global (12) Public Health Careers - USA (106) Public Health Careers - UK (19) Public Health Careers - Africa (2( One video is on jobs across Africa, so keeping this broad category for now, given only 2 videos. Public Health Careers - Australia (2) Public Health Careers - Bangladesh (8) Some videos focus on getting jobs in other countries, and most/all are in the Bengali language. Public Health Careers - Canada (3) Public Health Careers - China (1) Public Health Careers - India (6) Public Health Careers - Nepal (1) Public Health Careers - New Zealand (5) Public Health Careers - Saudi Arabia (2, in arabic)

Hi Friends, I've just gone through the 'What is Public Health?' playlist and ordered them in what I think is the best sequence to view them!
