Routemap for health impact assessment implementation
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) provides a practical set of tools to appraise the potential health effects of a policy, programme, or project prior to implementation. HIA has gained significant attention in recent decades due to its utility in facilitating a broader understanding of health and bringing diverse stakeholders and evidence into decision-making processes. Despite this interest in HIA its implementation remains challenging within govern…
Health impact assessments should be mandatory for all relevant government policies
Consistent and systematic integration of health considerations in upstream political decision making is needed to improve population health and enhance health equity. Previous research supports the effectiveness of Health Impact Assessments (HIA), as a key component of a Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach, demonstrating its ability to influence cross-government policies that affect health and health equity. HiAP is an approach to embedding he…
Undertaking the first health impact assessment on a city development plan in Ireland
Health impact assessment (HIA), as a way to embed Health in All Policies, has been endorsed in Irish public health strategies since 2001. However, practice has varied. Given the demonstrated effectiveness of HIA in improving health considerations in projects, programmes and policies, and the relationship between the built environment and public health, an HIA on the Cork City Development Plan (2022–2028) was undertaken, with a focus on the 15-min…
What do the narratives tell us? Exploring the implementation of the Athena SWAN Ireland Charter
Due to the systemic inequalities enduring in career progression pathways in the Irish higher education sector, the Athena SWAN Ireland Charter (ASIC), a gender equality accreditation program, is being implemented. Using a theoretical approach, blending insights from feminist institutionalism with literature on the role of narratives in policy implementation, this article reveals the complex nature of subjective engagement with policy implementati…
Developing a theoretical framework for exploring the institutional responses to the Athena SWAN Charter in higher education institutions—A feminist institutionalist perspective
Why does the institutional response of higher education institutions to a ‘potentially institutionally transformative’ gender equality programme such as the Athena SWAN (AS) Charter matter? If a higher education institution seeks and attains the AS award, then the institutional response would be to embed the Charter’s action plans thoroughly without resistance or variation across higher education institutional contexts? These are the initial and …
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) in Ireland and the role of local government
Developing a Political Science Curriculum for Non-Traditional Students
In keeping with practices elsewhere in Europe, Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in Ireland have in recent decades adopted access policies for non-traditional students (not recent school leavers). This paper assesses a particular initiative to facilitate access to HEIs to non-traditional students. However, due to the initiative's origins as a non-accredited certificate for asylum seekers and refugees, specific attention will be paid to the immig…
P07 Improving the quality of diabetes care
Objective Health professionals are key players in the success or failure of quality management depending on their willingness to accept and adapt to changes in practice. The aim of this study was to explore GPs' experiences of providing diabetes care and their thoughts on the factors affecting its development. Design Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with GPs to explore their experience of care provision in Ireland, opinions o…
