WHO Simulation Exercise Manual available online

 

Simulation exercises have been identified as a key component in the validation of core capacities under the International Health Regulation monitoring and evaluation framework (2016), which was noted by the Sixty-ninth World Health Assembly. Simulation exercises, along with After Action Reviews (AAR), represent the functional assessment of capacities and complement the self-assessments (Annual Reporting), independent reviews, and external evaluations (Joint External Evaluation (JEE)).

Useful Encyclopaedia for Shipping terms

Hello Everyone,

As part of research into developing a training course, I came across this rather useful document covering various shipping terms and their meanings. Published by a private company (Wartsilla), it is very comprehensive (600+ pages!) but is a good reference point.
