  4. PulseNet International / WHO Global Salm-Surv Collaboration & Partnership PulseNet Participants and WHO Global Salm-Surv Training Sites PulseNet Europe Global Salm-Surv Training Sites The First Question to Answer: Why Collaborate?Partnership can provide a stronger, more sustainable impact in foodborne disease surveillance and response.

  5. PulseNet International / WHO Global Salm-Surv Collaboration & Partnership Guidance Document (2007-08) Step I: IDENTIFY Step 2: ASSESS Step 3: TRAIN Step 4: PRODUCE Step 5: FUND

  6. PulseNet International / WHO Global Salm-Surv Collaboration & Partnership (2007-08) Who Will the Collaboration Effect?We want to IDENTIFY (Step 1): GSS Member Countries currently taking part in PulseNet/producing PulseNet data GSS Member Countries with PFGE capacity, but unable to establish PulseNet in their country GSS Member Countries that have established PulseNet, but not currently subtyping

  7. PulseNet International / WHO Global Salm-Surv Collaboration & Partnership (2007-08) Who Will the Collaboration Effect?We want to ASSESS (Step 2): PulseNet activities in regions/countries that are involved in both PulseNet and/or WHO-GSS country members. 1) PulseNet activities being held in a country and/or region. 2) Answer the question: Why is PulseNet not in their country?

  8. PulseNet International / WHO Global Salm-Surv Collaboration & Partnership (2007-08) What Will the Collaboration Help do?We want toTRAIN(Step 3): Create and test pilot training modules created for a specific region at WHO Global Salm-Surv Advanced Workshops. Modules can include: 1) Lectures/exercises on collaboration between epidemiologists and microbiologists using PulseNet data for surveillance, detecting clusters, and during outbreak investigation 2) How to advocate for support of PulseNet in their country and/or region.

  9. PulseNet International / WHO Global Salm-Surv Collaboration & Partnership (2007-08) What Will the Collaboration Help do?We want toPRODUCE(Step 4): Assist in initiating country/regional projects as an outcome of the joint WHO-GSS/PulseNet International Workshops. Skills received from the workshop can then be utilized in: 1) Initiating a new enhanced foodborne disease surveillance project 2) Adding a new component to an already established country or regional project

  10. PulseNet International / WHO Global Salm-Surv Collaboration & Partnership (2007-08) What Will the Collaboration Help do?We want to PROVIDE SKILLS SO THEY CAN LOCATE FUNDS(Step 5): 1)Provide members with necessary tools, resources, and skills so they can achieve support 2) Establish partnership approach to present to possible funders/donors Regional PulseNet + Regional WHO-GSS activities =Stronger, Sustainable Activities IMPORTANT TO FUNDERS AND DECISION MAKERS

  11. To Begin The Collaboration First 3 Steps by the end of 2008: IDENTIFYandASSESS: Questionnaire administered to those countries that are members of the WHO-GSS South America Regional Center and the PulseNet LA Network TRAIN: Create an agenda for WHO-Global Salm-Surv South America Advanced Workshop II, May 2008 PulseNet Europe Global Salm-Surv Training Sites PRODUCE: Begin discussion on possible projects that partner utilizing GSS and PulseNet skills
