The Health Geography Study Group Workshop is fast approaching and we want to finalise the numbers for catering and travel at the end of this week so this is a reminder to register for the Health Geography Study Group (HGSG) one day workshop prior to the IAG Conference in Adelaide, 28 June 2016 at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) Building, North Terrace, Adelaide. This is an opportunity to meet with other researchers and person interested in health geography. The presentations focus on subjects that are important to health geographers, access to and new developments from the ABS and data linkage and geocoding and a presentation on Health Geography in America and an opportunity for attendees to talk about their work or seek ideas or develop collaboration, network and help develop the plan to expand and develop health geography. There is no cost and we are helping students and ECRs with travel assistance. So please support the group and lets continue the momentum from last year’s workshop. The IAG sessions have expanded to 16 papers and three sessions. With your support we can continue to develop.

Thanks
