HC2011 – Health Informatics Congress, run by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, will once again push the boundaries when it comes to addressing the very real issues facing the health informatics community.
Initiatives on GP commissioning, increased focus on public health, regulation and accountability will all impact on the way healthcare services are provided and health informatics will have to respond and react.
HC2011 in April is ideally timed for us all to look at the emerging picture and map out the key lines of development for ICT services. A chance to ensure that there is “no decision about us, without us”.
Keynote speakers announced
Senior government speakers will use the forum provided by HC2011 to discuss the new direction for healthcare information following publication of the white paper. Consultations on the
Nov/Dec 10
Information Revolution and Choice will be near completion. Keynote speakers from the NHS leadership include: · Christine Connelly (director general for informatics for the Department of Health)
· Mike Farrar (chief executive, NHSNW)
There will be an all day masterclass with a special focus on professionalism and leadership, supported by: · Michael West (executive dean, Aston University)
· Aidan Halligan (director of education, University of London College Hospital)
· Professor Rachel Munton (East Midlands Leadership Academy)
With the NHS seeing some potentially dramatic changes in the way it engages with and utilises informatics services and systems, two provocative academics have been invited to promote innovative thinking in the area: · Professor Terry Young (chair of healthcare system, Brunel University);
· Professor Andy Stirling (science and technology policy research unit, University of
Sussex).
A conference to stimulate and challenge
With information becoming a more significant part of the health service and how it works, a parallel set of streams will run during the conference, looking at the implications for the service, and examining patient and public use of information, culminating in a debate on how to manage the tension between the two perspectives. Keynote speakers in these sessions will include: · Richard Hamblin, director of information, the Care Quality Commission
· John Newton, director of public health, South Central SHA
There will be four conference streams over the three days and other key topics to be debated will include:
Dynamic exhibition experience
BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT and Citadel Events have created an alignment and connection between the conference content and the commercial sponsors and exhibitors with a view to facilitating relationship building and business development opportunities between all sectors of the HI community.
Hall 3 at the ICC will form the focus of the exhibition but with space now very much at a premium, adjacent areas are being opened up to satisfy demand.
