Health Issues Centre has been listening to the health challenges of everyday people for over 35 years. We’ve developed the Searchlight Program to shine a light on emerging issues and gain a better understanding of their prevalence and impact on the community.

The extraordinary value of the Searchlight Program is it allows organisations to identify problems that nobody realised existed – often when standard approaches and reporting mechanisms have failed to register that anything is wrong.

Left unchecked, these issues can become catastrophic human tragedies that destroy lives, impact organisations’ reputations and potentially have serious financial ramifications. Recent examples include:

  • The global transvaginal mesh disaster

  • Medical device failures

  • Benzodiazepine addiction

  • Vicarious trauma in workplaces

Health Issues Consulting works to discover hidden issues by aggregating individual lived experiences and identifying trends in the data that point to emerging phenomena.

Our unique approach means we can help your organisation pick up clear signals against the background noise.
