BCS to hold NHS IT debates

The British Computer Society is to hold two open door meetings to debate what should be informatics professional’s response to the Department of Health’s NHS Information Revolution consultation.

Matthew Swindells, Chair of BCS Health, said “The government has outlined their overall plans for the NHS in the white paper, and it is clear that the approach to information will be crucial to the success or failure of the new policy.

“This consultation is an opportunity for informatics professionals to shape an information strategy that will define much of how the NHS looks to patients, carers and clinicians in the next decade and beyond.”

The talks will be held in Leeds and London – and will include presentations from Paul Jones, NHS CTO.
