Ireland and Northern Ireland’s Population Health Observatory (INIsPHO), located within the Institute of Public Health in Ireland (IPH), invites you to a seminar of the Health Analysts’ Special Interest Group (HASIG).

Health-related data is produced at various different geographical levels – from trans-national to national to regional to local. The seminar will focus on data from different geographical levels and will examine:

  • What geographical data is available.
  • When to use data from different geographical levels.
  • How that data can be used.
  • Benefits and drawbacks.
 
You will have the opportunity to put your questions to the speakers and discuss these issues with fellow HASIG members.
