CPD for Healthcare Professionals at City University

Denis Protti – City University London and Victoria University Canda

Is a comprehensive single unified record, shared by all clinicians, a reality for the NHS?  The experiences of other jurisdictions such as Spain, the USA, Hong Kong and Italy will be presented.

Jonathan Kaye – City University  and John Radcliff Hospital Oxford.

Technologies such as email, web browsing, barcodes and mobile 'phones have revolutionised the commercial, social and entertainment domains.  However their uptake in healthcare has been slow and patchy. The reasons for this need to be understood and the barriers overcome if they are to bring the same benefits to healthcare that they have delivered to everyday life.

Peter Drury -Director, Healthcare Practice,Emerging Markets, Public Sector, Cisco IBSG    

- Emerging technologies for Emerging Markets - is there a framework that can help decide what is needed where?

Mike Bainbridge – Connecting For Health Technology office

Is a common user interface a dream or a possibility? Will the NHS clinician someday access a clinical work station which has the same look and feel egardless of where the clinician is practicing? These and related questions will be explored.

This event is on 31 October 2007 at City University London, Northampton Square, London EC1V 0HB.  Attached is the flyer with booking details.
