The Knowledge 4 Health Conference 2016 will explore innovative and practical ways of providing knowledge support for the implementation of two public health frameworks:  'Healthy Ireland: A Framework for Improved Health & Wellbeing 2013-2025' in the Republic of Ireland, and 'Making Life Better – A Whole System Strategic Framework for Public Health 2013–2023' in Northern Ireland.

Audience:
 
The event will be of interest to people working to improve public health and wellbeing and reduce inequalities.  These include people from government departments and agencies, health and social service agencies, academia, the community and voluntary sector, and business.
 
Programme:

As well as two plenary sessions, the Conference will include four parallel sessions which will focus on:

  1. Monitoring Health and Wellbeing Across the Population
  2. Crossing Boundaries for Better Knowledge
  3. Knowledge Exchange: Formulating Policy and Practice
  4. Information Systems for Health and Wellbeing

The Conference programme also includes:

  • An interactive lunchtime showcase of projects (including online tools).
  • A photographic exhibition titled "Health and Wellbeing" of images submitted by registrants.


Details of the full programme will follow soon. 

 

Photo Competition

IPH welcomes photographic entries into the competition that capture what "health and wellbeing" means. Entries will be judged online by registrants to the Conference. Registrants will be asked to rank the entries according to their relevance to the theme and their visual impact, rather than technical quality alone. We will print and exhibit the ten top-scoring photos at the Conference. After the Conference the mounted photographs will be given to the successful exhibiting photographers. The entrant whose photograph receives the highest score will also receive a €100 gift voucher.
