As a public health professional in the UK, I found Stanmore's Postgraduate Certificate in Social Determinants of Health incredibly valuable. The course content was comprehensive and covered a variety of topics related to health disparities and societal factors, which helped me better understand the challenges faced by communities in my country. The practical skills and knowledge I gained throughout the course have been directly applicable to my work, and I have already seen improvements in my ability to address health disparities in a meaningful way. While the course materials were informative and well-organized, I would have appreciated more real-world examples and case studies that reflected the UK context. Nonetheless, I am very satisfied with my overall learning experience and highly recommend this course to anyone working in public health in the UK.
