Subject: Healthcare Delivery 2016 - Meeting 27 April

 
HEALTH INFORMATICS INTERACTIVE CARE SPECIALIST GROUP
OF THE BRITISH COMPUTER SOCIETY

To Members of the Specialist Group

The Group ran a successful session at HC2006 with Professor Frances Mair giving an overview of the role of e-health in healthcare delivery. About 30 delegates attended, there was a useful discussion and we recruited at least 6 new members.

As you already know, the next meeting of the Group will be held on
Thursday 27^th April
at the BCS in the Davidson Building, 5 Southampton Street., WC2E 7HA
 
It will start at 6.00 (Refreshments available from 5.30) and is open to all.
 
The topic for the meeting will be Healthcare Delivery 2016
 
The speakers will be Paul Wallace, Professor and UCL Vice Dean Primary Care, Royal Free and University College Medical School and Nicholas Robinson who is a GP and also works for NHS Direct.
 
We will be looking at how the introduction of more Telemedicine and eHealth procedures (and other factors) are likely to change the way care is delivered in the next 10 years. We will also look briefly at what significant changes there have been in the last 10 years and consider the likely impact of the White Paper, Our, health, our care, our say: a new direction for community services, on the rate of change. There will be ample opportunity for your contributions and discussion.
 
Before the presentations there will be a brief AGM to transact any necessary business and elect a permanent committee. If you are not a member of the current interim committee and would like to stand for election to the committee, please contact the Chairman, Keith Clough (keith@...) - preferably in advance of the meeting.


In order to meet the BCS security requirements and to ensure that we order sufficient food, please email interactive@... if you are planning to attend. (If you arrive later than 6.00 pm, you may need to ring the buzzer by the main door, make your way to the back entrance on Exeter Street and wait for whoever is working on BCS reception to come down to let you in.)
 
Further meetings of the Group will take place on:
            Tuesday 20 June - evening meeting at Southampton Street
            Tuesday 22 August - evening meeting at Southampton Street
There will probably also be some joint meetings with other Groups, including some not in London.
