Institute for Research in Social Science - Resilience Amongst Professionals Seminar Series
Date: 1 March 2012 Time: 9.30am

About the Event:
The next IPH Health Impact Assessment (HIA) Comprehensive Training course will take place on 12-14 March 2012 in the Clarion Hotel Dublin, IFSC.
Health is determined by a range of social, economic and environmental factors. HIA is a practical, systematic approach which assesses the health impacts of policies, programmes and projects developed by a range of organisations. It supports people in the health sector as well as those who do not have health as their primary objective. HIA ensures impacts are identified and allows decision-makers to make choices about alternatives and improvements that actively promote health and well-being.
The three day course gives participants knowledge and skills so they can plan for and conduct HIA across a range of settings. It will be of use to those working in local government, healthcare, education, public health, health promotion, planning, socio-economic development, neighbourhood renewal, environmental health and the community and voluntary sector.
Applications will close on Friday 20 January. An application form and further information is available from http://www.publichealth.ie/ireland/hiatraining/comprehensivehiatrainingcourse.
The course costs £250/€300 however a small number of bursary places are available. Should you require further information please contact Leah Friend at Leah.Friend@publichealth.ie
