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