Nigeria Health Watch | Health Professionals Communications & Advocacy Learning Programme (HPCALP)


Unlike traditional professional development courses, HPCALP combines interactive learning with practical, real-world experience. Participants will strengthen their skills in health communication, media engagement, advocacy, thought leadership, and countering misinformation through four weeks of virtual learning, followed by a one-week practical immersion with Nigeria Health Watch and partner organisations working across Nigeria’s health sector.
Effective communication is a critical clinical skill, yet most health professionals are never formally trained to navigate public media, counter false health narratives, or write for policy influence.
We have officially opened applications for the Health Professionals Communications & Advocacy Learning Programme (HPCALP).
This hybrid capacity-building initiative is designed to transform health professionals into evidence-based communication champions and trusted community voices. An opportunity you don’t want to miss.
