The two day informal conference for ENRGHI 2014 is organised for and by postgraduates and early career researchers and supported by the RGS (with IBG) Geography of Health Research Group provides an excellent opportunity for researchers to showcase work in a welcoming and supportive environment from peers who have a shared interest in the geographies of health and impairment. The longstanding conference has attracted an international audience and welcomes abstracts from researchers in and outside of geography disciplines who are involved in research in health or health care within a social, geographical or environmental context.
