Registration is now open for the Southern Institute for
Health Informatics 7th Annual Conference
Friday 30th September 2005, Richmond Building, University of
Portsmouth
After six tremendously successful SIHI conferences, we are holding this
year's one in Portsmouth on Friday 30th September and we would like to
invite you to participate. The venue will be the Richmond Building, on
the main University of Portsmouth campus.
The theme for the conference is the contribution that Health Informatics
could and should make to the Improvement Agenda in the National Health
Service.
Speakers will include:
Jan Dowsett, National Clinical Lead for Allied Health Professions, NHS
Connection for Health
Hugh Rogers FRCS, Associate for Service Transformation, NHS Institute for
Innovation & Improvement
Di Millen, Head of Informatics, NHS Connecting for Health
Dr Glyn Hayes, President, UK Council for Health Informatics Professions
and Chair, BCS Health Informatics Forum
Sherrin Moss, Healthcare Markets Manager, BUPA
John Jeans, GE Healthcare
Ben Stanberry, Avienda Ltd
The conference is aimed at healthcare professionals, senior managers and
system developers both within the NHS and in companies supplying products
and services to it. Academics with research or teaching interests in the
above areas will also find plenty to hear and talk about.
The cost of early registration (bookings made before 1st September) is
only £85 (with discounts for multiple attendees from the same
organisation), which includes lunch.
We also have a number of "Infomart" places left. The Informat
is an informal information marketplace area, that allows vendors and
researchers a low cost method of meeting people and exchanging
information.
