Chaired by RSPH Chief Executive Shirley Cramer CBE, the focus of the HiAP 2018 Conference is on ensuring that through the transference of best practice methodology there is a common understanding of health and health inequalities across councils, NHS settings and community care.

Providing a common way of analysing the health impact of the range of council functions and a common commitment to maximising the positive health impact of all of these functions, exercising them in a way that will reduce inequalities. It is important that this approach is led by the most senior elected and executive council members through to all lower level personnel across the whole of the organisational activities and our conference is therefore applicable for a range of organisations and individuals to attend.

The idea of looking at the health impact of the whole of a council’s functions is not new – indeed it was one of the drivers for the development of local government in this country. But a systematic, evidence-based approach to HiAP does mean, for some councils, a review of the way they do business, and the development of new collective approaches towards shared ambitions.

The HiAP 2018 conference will serve to provide help for local authority and NHS decision makers to determine their own specific needs and challenges. Sharing insight on how best to collate evidence, identify impacts, take action and prioritise interventions.
