SHIIAN Introduction
** Please note: the SHIIAN content on this ScotPHN.net website is no longer being updated **
Public Health Scotland (PHS) has set up its ‘HIA Support Unit’ (HIASU) as part of its Localised Working Programme. All Health Inequalities Impact Assessment national support functions and activity previously undertaken by SHIIAN are now transitioned to PHS.
HIASU will continue to support local partners in the use of HIA to enhance the integration of health and health inequalities across the policy spectrum. It will continue to advocate for HIA as part of a Health in All Policies (HiAPs) approach.
Under the direction of HIASU, SHIIAN remains open to anyone working or planning to work on HIA in Scotland.
Updated HIA guidance, reports, resources can now be found on the HIASU website.
