Health Impact Assessment Support Unit (HIASU)
- Equality
The PHS Health Impact Assessment Support Unit (HIASU) was formed in 2022.
The purpose of the HIASU is to:
- support local partners in the use of HIA to integrate health and health inequalities into all policies and services
- collaborate nationally to advocate for HIA as part of a Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach
HIASU provides:
- advice and guidance to support the delivery of HIA
- opportunities to share learning and good practice
- resources to support understanding, delivery and completion of HIAs
The team also manages the Scottish Health and Inequalities Impact Assessment Network (SHIIAN).
