Abstract

The Italian National Institute of Health (Istituto Superiore di Sanità – ISS) is implementing an operational research project to contribute to the development of a harmonized training curriculum across the Pan-European Region for in-service professionals who need to integrate One Health (OH) approaches in prevention and preparedness plans and strategies, to finally foster OH operationalization and health security. Gaps and competencies for OH operationalization for prevention and preparedness have been identified with a literature review, as part of the current research project. These gaps were arranged in a preliminary framework, together with the competencies needed to fill them, which was used as the starting point for reflection to elaborate recommendations for the development of a harmonized curriculum to adopt OH in prevention and preparedness strategies. In this context, ISS decided to run a consultative workshop (including a preliminary online survey with participants) on the 29th of February and 1st of March 2024 in Rome, with the main aim of gathering inputs and perspectives from the participants about the needed competencies for OH prevention and preparedness and about the concept of OH workforce across the Pan-European Region.
