Increasingly primary and community health care practitioners are planning and evaluating
programs and services for their clients and communities. Furthermore they are being
made accountable for the money spent on projects and programs. You may have heard
of the "5 P's": poor planning precedes poor performance. How do you ensure your planning
is appropriate and ensure you achieve the aims of your services, projects and programs?
This subject will introduce students to program planning and evaluation and best practice
specific to primary and community health settings. Students will be introduced to
practical skills in community consultation and engagement including needs assessments
and community mapping. As well as introducing a range of planning and evaluation frameworks
and models, this subject will cover in-depth the Logical Framework Approach. Students
will apply research techniques using quantitative and qualitative data collection
tools and analysis to evaluation in primary health care and community settings. The

well as provide skills in critically assessing and commissioning evaluations. Students
will acquire techniques to implement evaluation outcomes through the 'plan-do-study-act'
cycle.
