Health Impact Assessment Service
Our HIA Service includes:
Holistic Analysis: By forecasting the potential negative and positive health consequences of developments, proportionate mitigating measures can be implemented to show policy compliance and the development’s acceptability to decision-makers at the planning stage.
• Stakeholder Involvement: Engage with public healthcare bodies, residents, local community groups, and other stakeholders in the design of initiatives.
Structured Project Management: Organize the development and implementation of policies, programs, projects, and services.
Effective Evaluation: Monitor the achievement of your objectives, outputs, and outcomes to discharge planning conditions as necessary.
Key Benefits of HIA
Systematic Approach: Identify differential health impacts within an equitable and sustainable framework.
• Maximize Positive Effects: Enhance positive health effects and minimise negative impacts on the affected community.
Evidence-Based: Utilise structured and evaluated evidence from primary surveys and reputable secondary resources with additional qualitative research on public and stakeholder perceptions and experiences.
A Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is used to evaluate the potential health effects of a plan or project on existing and new communities. A study is produced following either a streamlined or comprehensive methodology dependent on the development scale. Brookbanks actively work with the client, local authorities and other stakeholders to establish the projects impacts in preventing ill-health, promoting good health, and reducing health inequalities.
