Welcome
The 4th All Ireland Health Promoting Hospitals (HPH) conference 2007, to take place at the Armagh City Hotel, Armagh on 23 and 24 October 2007, will cover the concept of The hospital without walls – a community asset, and highlight the contribution of hospitals and the wider health services in improving the health of the population throughout the island of Ireland.
It will explore the potential of, and the challenges for, hospitals and communities, in order to build commitment and inform future work to reinforce hospitals as healthy settings.
Parallel sessions at the conference will explore the progress to date on implementing the five World Health Organization (WHO)/HPH standards:
- management;
- patient assessment;
- information and intervention;
- healthy workplace;
- continuing care.
Participants can expect to take away from the conference:
- a greater insight into the potential of the hospital setting in strengthening community action for health;
- the ability to build ongoing commitment to alliances and partnerships in promoting social responsibility for health;
- an understanding how to implement the WHO/HPH health promotion standards;
- an understanding of the HPH concept and new contacts through networking opportunities.
The programme is varied with plenary sessions led by all-island and European keynote speakers, parallel sessions (and posters) where participants share the experiences of implementing the WHO/HPH health promotion standards, and a forum for the exchange and further development of knowledge and experiences for everyone working across the health care setting.
