The PH Futures Trainee Conference is sponsored by Informing Healthier Choices (IHC), a Department of Health programme aimed at making public health intelligence more accessible and useful by providing tools, skills and knowledge. IHC has four aims: improving workforce capacity and capability, improving data and tools, creating stronger organizations using intelligence appropriately, and developing web-based health intelligence support. IHC wants to ensure those responsible for planning and commissioning health services have access to the best knowledge.
