SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS

eHealth: a Futurescope 3rd International Conference on Advances in the Delivery of Care

It is with pleasure that we announce our forthcoming conference.

eHealth: a Futurescope will plan, explore, debate and evaluate strategies for developing IT opportunities in healthcare. The conference will interest health practitioners and providers, policy makers, patients and clients, information scientists, analysts and futurologists who are considering the following challenges:

How has the thrust of IT research affected healthcare? How can healthcare providers create advantages from IT opportunities? Why is the potential of information in health not yet realised? How should information be regulated and disseminated? Who will eHealth benefit? How best can we manage change in healthcare? What is the impact of eHealth on the patient? How can we ensure quality? What is the psychology and sociology of eHealth?

Keynote speakers include Paul Jenkins of NHS Direct, Gorm Kirsch of MacQuarie Technology Investment Banking and Heinz Wolff of Brunel University.

Abstracts are welcomed for oral presentations, posters and workshops (which should be between 60 - 75 minutes duration).
