http://www.ehilive.co.uk/ – UK – 3-4 November 2014, London, UK

Annual conference where the eHealth community meets…

EHI Live 2014 is more than a conference, more than an exhibition. For anyone involved in the use of information in healthcare it’s a golden opportunity to update knowledge, get answers to questions, meet the experts and think about the future.  In its seventh year, EHI Live attracts visitors and delegates from around the UK and beyond who are keen to listen to industry figures and investigate new technologies. The exhibition gives visitors the chance to see the best that NHS IT suppliers have to offer the health service, as it gets to grips with the need to save money while improving patient access and quality.

The conference serves up a stimulating programme of sessions across three streams – Leadership, Best practice and Innovation – featuring leading thinkers, healthcare practitioners, policy makers, technologists and futurologists.  It includes the Health CCIO Leaders Network Annual Conference which addresses the critical role of the CIO as leader and examines how we build a new generation of digital leaders in healthcare.
