UK - Health Impact Assessment

Health Impact Assessment (HIA) Learning from Practice Workshop

The UK's Health Development Agency held a series of Learning from Practice workshops at the end of 2002/03. Attended by expert practitioners and academics, these workshops demonstrated the value of sharing real-life experience of a number of aspects of HIA.

The following bulletins provide practical recommendations for improving the application of HIA within specific topics, provide practical case study examples, and outline the importance of achieving such practice. The methodology used in this case to improve HIA practice would also be suitable for other impact assessment areas.

The bulletins are:

• Evaluating Health Impact Assessment
• Addressing Inequalities through Health Impact Assessment
• Influencing the Decision-making Process through Health Impact Assessment
• Deciding if a Health Impact Assessment Is Required (Screening for HIA)

Further information on the UK's approach to HIA and completed studies can be found at the HIA Gateway
