IMPACT - International Health Impact Assessment Consortium

IMPACT is based in the Division of Public Health, a World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre, at the University of Liverpool. The Unit, which is self-financing, was established in 2000.

IMPACT aims to improve health and reduce health inequalities locally, nationally and internationally, through Health Impact Assessment (HIA). More specifically we seek to promote the integration of HIA into policy planning. We achieve our aims through:

  1. HIA Research
  2. HIA Consultancy
  3. HIA Training

IMPACT works with a range of partners including the World Health Organisation, the European Commission, Health Ministries, Regional Development Agencies, Primary Care Trusts, Local Authorities and private developers.
