E-Health Insider Live ’09
1,300 people, 80 exhibitors, four conference streams, the sheep key-rings, the chocolate fountain. Last week, E-Health Insider Live ’09 took place at The ICC in Birmingham, and E-Health Insider’s editorial team was there.
The big talking point of the second day was whether iSoft could really get 25 trusts to go live with Lorenzo Regional Care next year, as its executive chairman and chief executive Gary Cohen confidently said it would.
But there was plenty more to discuss, from the possible impact of the coming financial crunch and general election, to whether more acute trusts would break free of the national programme, to whether NHS organisations should be forced to publish more information for the public.
Booking is already underway for E-Health Insider Live 2010, which will take place at The NEC in Birmingham from 8-9 November next year. More than 500 square metres of space have already been sold. If you would like to book a stand, please email Neil Hadland.

E-Health Insider’s editorial team was at The ICC in Birmingham for E-Health Insider Live ’09 to find out what it said about life inside and outside the National Programme for IT in the NHS and what the future might hold as a general election approaches. The chair of Dr Foster Intelligence, Tim Kelsey, was the first keynote speaker at E-Health Insider Live ’09. In his speech, he called for sharing information in the NHS to be made mandatory – particularly for primary care trusts. Reporter Sarah Bruce asked him why his vision for data sharing is so important. On the second day of E-Health Insider Live ’09, retired army colonel and leadership lecturer Tim Collins gave an uplifting and inspirational speech about his experiences. Sarah Bruce asked him to give a flavour of his presentation and to outline his six steps to becoming a great leader in the NHS. Massive amounts of work go into running a show like E-Health Insider Live ’09. Photographer Ian Macaulay captured the set up, both days of the event and the highlights of the comedy evening at Jongleurs. |
