Institute of Public Health in Ireland 11-13 Gloucester Street, Belfast BT1 4LS

Welcome to the Institute of Public Health in Ireland – a leading establishment committed to improving the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities on the island of Ireland. Our headquarters is located at the City Exchange building in the heart of Belfast, United Kingdom. As a public health organization, our key role is to provide evidence-based research, advice and support to policymakers, health professionals and the wider community in areas which impact on health and wellbeing.

At the Institute of Public Health in Ireland, we strive to promote partnerships and collaboration across the public health spectrum, enabling more effective responses to health challenges faced by our populations. We act as a local government office, working closely with health departments in both the north and south of Ireland in the development, implementation and evaluation of health policies, interventions and programs.

Our institution serves as a point of interest for anyone interested in public health, offering a range of services and resources to support research, knowledge exchange and capacity building. We have a team of experienced and multidisciplinary professionals who are dedicated to using their expertise to make a positive impact on public health. Our research focuses on a diverse range of topics, including chronic diseases, environmental health, health inequalities and health system performance.

As an Institute, we are committed to promoting equity and social justice in public health. We believe that everyone has the right to enjoy good health and wellbeing, and we work tirelessly to address the social determinants of health which contribute to health inequities across populations. Our work is supported by a strong network of strategic partnerships across the island of Ireland, the wider European region and beyond.

Whether you are a health professional, policy maker, researcher or member of the public, we welcome you to explore our website and learn more about our work. Join us in our efforts to improve public health for all, and make a real difference in shaping the future of health on the island of Ireland.
