There are approximately 3 weeks to go until this year's
Southern Institute for Health Informatics Conference, to be held at the
University of Portsmouth on Friday 21st September. Early bird
registration expires at midnight on 31st August.
The theme for this, the ninth, SIHI conference is the way that health
informatics can facilitate the collection of information about a patient.
The conference is, additionally, part of a scoping study for the
Department of Health's invention for innovation (i4i) programme into
rapid diagnostic technologies. It is also particularly relevant to
members of the Telecare Knowledge Network.
As usual, we have a wide range of speakers representing local and
national points of view, including Mike Bainbridge, Gary Smith and Clare
Skidmore. The full list of speakers can be found on the website (URL
below).
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. Others with interests in health informatics 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. Booking can be made online.
