Co-Chairs of Public Health Information Special Interest Group Tomas Allen and Sue Thomas opened the meeting
and welcomed everyone attending the business meeting.
2. Apologies for absence
Apologies were received from Lia Ferrara (Italy), Carol Lefebvre (UK) and Mala Mann (Wales, UK).
3. Adoption of the agenda & discussion of the meeting
Tomas led a round of introductions to identify current themes in each participant’s organization. The discussion
covered a wide range of issues, such as:
- unscheduled care
- public health policies in individual countries
- assets mapping
- managing research data
- research assessment
-translating public health related information to minority, immigrant and native languages
- disseminating public health related information (especially on systematic reviews; e.g. Campbell Collaboration,
Cochrane, PROSPERO)
- organizational changes, cost cuts and keeping up the information exchange and networking in this new
situation.
We decided to further active group’s Delicious account (https://delicious.com/EAHIL_PHIG) and web pages to
share information on public health related systematic reviews. Katri will send our group members information
about how to add links to Delicious. The systematic reviews will be tagged so they will be easy to identify among
other links.
To support information exchange and encouraging the group activities even between workshops and
conferences Tomas will study the possibilities to set up a WebEx meeting for our group.
