NLPH at workshops in February
The Library will have an exhibition stand at two workshops in
February. The first will be in London on 12th February at The
Future of Public Health Information and Intelligence: needs and
applications. We will then be at the Supporting
the Child Health Strategy through Improved Child Health Data and
Intelligence which is part of the launch of the Child and
Maternal Health Observatory on 26th February. Please stop by and see
us at these events.
Global Health database trial
Thank you to those that participated in the Global Health
database trial. This trial ran for four months and garnered a good
amount of interest. Those that expressed interest will receive a
brief survey shortly so we can gather some feedback.
