HEALTH INFORMATICS INTERACTIVE CARE SPECIALIST GROUP
OF THE BRITISH COMPUTER SOCIETY

To Members of the Specialist Group

The Group ran a successful meeting on 27th April at which the speakers were Paul Wallace, Professor and UCL Vice Dean Primary Care, Royal Free and University College Medical School and Nicholas Robinson a GP who also works for NHS Direct.

The next meeting of the Group will be held on Tuesday 20th June 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.

Subject: How the armed forces are using Telemedicine

Speaker: Surgeon Captain Peter Buxton, OBE, who is currently working for Medical Director General (Naval) in the Medical Personnel and Policy area. He was appointed as the Defence Consultant Adviser in Radiology and Telemedicine to Surgeon General in 2002 and, as such, is responsible for all three Services. He is the UK representative on the NATO Telemedicine Working Group. He has published many academic papers on both radiology and telemedicine and is a recognised international expert in the application of telemedicine.

The discussion following the meeting could explore the possibilities for transferring this experience to the NHS for wider implementation.

(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.)
