Click here for more details on the upcoming HASIG Seminar; 'Indicators of the Social Determinants of Health' which will be held on the 5th of May in Athlone IT.

The aim of HASIG is to support the community of health analysts to make a more effective contribution to the health intelligence function and allow them to share their expertise and experience through a network of colleagues across the island of Ireland.

HASIG supports members by:

• providing day-to-day support and advice;
• holding seminars on topics of interest;
• creating a forum to discuss data sources and analytical techniques;
• assisting in the contribution to professional development.

Health information makes a critical contribution to the delivery of effective health services and the development of healthy public policy. However, health analysts often work without vital support.
