Email Groups

HPA hosts four e-mail discussion lists.

Our aim is to facilitate information sharing. We hope you find these mailing lists/listservs a useful way of discussing ideas or issues with your colleagues.

They are owned and administered by HPA. Membership is moderated, but the content of the emails is not moderated.  Messages and opinions expressed on these lists are those of the author and are not necessarily the opinions of The Health Promotion Agency (HPA), its employees, and/or the listserv moderator.

Messages are the responsibility of the original sender, and cannot be recalled or deleted once sent.

Please be aware that the email messages may be accessible (read only) by non-subscribers.

We suggest you use your discretion. Comments made about people, products or organisations should be considered, responsible, and not defamatory.

HPA will not accept any liability in respect of subsequent unwanted correspondence.

HPA and/or the list moderator reserve the right to terminate the listserv or any individual member's subscription to the list at any time if warranted. Individual subscription is considered a privilege and may be revoked for non-compliant behaviour. HPA and/or the listserv moderator reserve the right to make changes and modifications to these lists and these disclaimers at any time for any reason.
