Health Impact Assessment training now available
Health
Impact Assessment (HIA) is a practical, systematic methodology
that seeks to
influence policy and programmes in favour of health. HIA
provides
decision makers with an evidence base of how a proposal may
impact on the
health and wellbeing of a population. HIA contributes to
many areas of
work and seeks to enhance social, economic and
environmental wellbeing and
tackle health inequalities.
The Institute of Public Health in
Ireland is now calling for
applications for the next comprehensive HIA
training course, which will
take place from 19th - 21st May 2008 in the
Hilton Dublin Kilmainham
Hotel. This course will be of interest to
government departments, local
councils, health services, the community and
voluntary sector and others
whose work impacts on health. The Institute
is keen to include
representatives from a wide range of organisations,
however places are
limited and early booking is advisable.
For further information on this course and to register,
please

Training in HIA will enable your organisation to make a
significant
contribution towards improved
health
