title: The Scottish Centre for Infection and Environmental Health (SCIEH).
abstract: The Scottish Centre for Infection and Environmental Health has four core functions: the monitoring and surveillance of communicable diseases and environmental hazards in Scotland; operational advice and support at national and local level; research; and education and training. Its work is determined by a specification drawn up by the Public Health Policy Unit of the Scottish Office Department of Health. To fulfill its remit it works closely with a wide range of professionals, including those in the Scottish Office Department of Health, the health service, local government, and in organisations concerned with the environment. It also has close relationships with the Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre, Public Health Laboratory Service, London, the World Health Organization and other international bodies.
