Introduction
In November 2006 Public Health Intelligence (PHI) will be hosting the
international conference GeoHealth 2006: Methods in Practice. The aim
of GeoHealth 2006 is to promote the exchange of ideas and sharing of
experiences in the application of Health Geographical Information Sciences
and Systems (GIS) to public health research and practice. The conference
will bring together people from many different fields in the broad area
of public health, and follows on from the first two highly successful
conferences GeoHealth2002: supporting decision making in health, and
GeoHealth 2004: surveillance and intervention. This conference, GeoHealth
2006: Methods in Practice, will focus on how GIS and spatial epidemiological
methods are of practical benefit to public health. Conference papers
will cover topics from both the research and policy perspectives, ranging
from spatial epidemiological research to information for public health
policy.
When
The conference will be held in November 2006.
There will be a conference reception on 27 November, followed by several
days of presentations - 28 to 30 November.
