Public Health informatics seems to be a somewhat neglected discipline on the web.  This site from the UK is a welcome addition to the various informatics resources on the web.

Public Health Knowledge

Main features:

  • serves as an easy to remember single point of entry to Public Health resources on the web.
  • is continuously updated in response to feedback from Public Health Professionals and news items are posted as they emerge.
  • provides a forum for exchange of intelligence and other resources.  Forum messages can contain hyperlinks to other web, ftp or email addresses.  A web-board/public folder provides an exchange point for files. Messages posted to the Forum can be cited as evidence of life-long-learning.
  • will harness advances in Public Health Informatics.
  • welcomes multi-agency, multi-disciplinary input. Team members comprise "observers" who email web-links and news items.
