With budgets also under pressure, health- care professionals need to fi nd effi ciency savings whilst continuing to deliver a world-class NHS. The Smart Healthcare Live exhibition comes at a vital time for healthcare professionals and will provide attendees with an opportunity to see the latest innovations, meet key suppliers and hear the developments shaping healthcare IT today. Free to attend, the event will be taking place at ExCeL London, and will run alongside Public Procurement Show and SmartGov Live for two days of keynote de- bates, practical case studies and best prac- tice seminars.
Our speakers are leaders within the health- care ICT sector and are at the forefront of innovation and public sector cost savings. The impact of GP commissioning and what form this new system may take will be de- bated by a panel including Justin Whatling, vice chair, strategy and policy, BCS Health and Dr Sid Deshmukh, informatics lead, Bexley Clinical Cabinet GP Consortium. Meanwhile, Avon IM&T Consortium and Southampton Universities Hospital NHS Trust will discuss the future for mobile health and what plans the health sector have for the growing use of mobile internet and technology in healthcare. Paul Jones, chief technology offi cer at the Informatics Directorate of the Department of Health will ask about the social and cultural chang- es required from patients and clinicians to deliver a true information revolution. He will also explore how effective patient re- cords can deliver effi ciencies, improved ser- vice and transform our health sector.
Lord Filkin will end the fi rst day of the conference with a keynote speech asking if we can get bigger savings, better value and better outcomes through effective procure- ment. The second day will close with a live- ly conversation between Michael White, as- sistant editor of the Guardian and Baroness Hanham, parliamentary under-secretary of state at the Department for Communities and Local Government.

we have introduced best
practice theatres, creating a dynamic and collaborative forum for hot topics. Roger Donald, head of digital delivery at NHS Direct, will demonstrate how social media can transform healthcare delivery and Jenny Hyatt will show how a similar effect has been achieved on the award winning website
bigwhitewall.com, an online community which offers people struggling with psychological problems a safe place where they can talk about their feelings anonymously.
High-level strategic keynote debates will also take place on both days. Leading thinkers including Allison Ogden-Newton, chief executive of Social Enterprise Lon- don, Dominic Campbell from FutureGov and Chris Chant, interim executive direc- tor for digital at the Cabinet Offi ce, will discuss how the way we think about public services is changing as new delivery mod- els and organisations are established and how public services need to adapt as in- formation technology changes the way we live, behave and operate.
Smart Healthcare Live will also provide you with the chance to see the latest technolo- gies and developments from organisations including IBM, EMIS, Panasonic, Kodak, BCS and NHS Evidence.
At Smart Healthcare Live, we know these are tough times with cuts affecting health- care. How can ICT support the NHS in this time of great change while facing the chal- lenge of restricted budgets? Health IT lead- ers are under greater pressure than ever to increase effi ciencies, prove Return on Investment and enable the health service to deliver higher quality care. By bringing leading public sector infl uencers, think- ers and suppliers together under one roof, Smart Healthcare Live can help health IT professionals explore and innovate new ways of delivering healthcare services ef- fi ciently and effectively.
