Abstract
Background: In order to engage undergraduate healthcare students in the subject of Public Health an innovative approach is required. The overall aim of the second year Public Health module was to offer students the opportunity to explore the concepts of promoting health and wellbeing in relation to contemporary public health policy in order to inform future care delivery.
Method: A public health module was developed using the 'Flipped Classroom' to address the presenting challenges with both theoretical content and the delivery schedule.
Results: An emerging structural model for a ‘Flipped Classroom’ approach to module learning and teaching was created.
Conclusion: This discussion will explore how the challenges were met through the development of a model based upon the ‘Flipped Classroom’ approach to learning and teaching.
