Workshop notes:

·  Inspiration: How can insights, tools and ideas from one Network be transferred to another?

·  To link up better – and not be simply a list of separate networks

·  Learn from organizational strategy and administration

·  Mapping the actors. ID of collaborators/actors in the field

·  Teaching and training in HP (bridging clinical and public health worlds)

·  How to persuade organizations/entities to do HP (HP is not the core business of prisons, universities, even not of H/HS)

·  Staff health promotion – we all have staff

·  Funding – any collaboration possible?

·  Research needs a boost – via all designs/disciplines as appropriate.

·  Get more networks, more people on board for next time.

·  Not competing: By being organized we become transparent and we can collaboratively approach international bodies for needed steps, action and support.

·  To do: Internal WHO Networks will have its own meeting to get organized.

·  WHO will invite all HP Networks (individually or collectively) at annual meeting.
