Ireland and Northern Ireland’s Population Health Observatory (INIsPHO) located within IPH invites you to a seminar of the health analysts’ special interest group (HASIG) entitled ‘Demystifying population projections’.

Health inequalities are unacceptable, starting early in life and persisting not only into old age but subsequent generations. They reflect a complex array of health, social economic, environmental, and resourcing factors. Local health inequalities indicators give a picture of the situation in an area and put it into context by supporting and facilitating geographical comparisons.

Health analysts play a critical role contributing to health service delivery and policy development but often work without vital support. For too long analysts have either had to work alone else only have a minimum number of colleagues to turn to for assistance. The health analysts’ special interest group was created to cater for the dedicated interests and needs of analysts. By joining the health analysts’ special interest group members can increase the capacity of persons they network and communicate with.
