EVENT OVERVIEW

Practical Steps to Implementation of NPfIT
February 8 & 9 2005, London

Since the LSP contract awards for the National Programme for IT (NPfIT) were finalized at the beginning of this year, it has become more and more clear that 2 issues will decide the success or failure of the Programme: Clinician engagement and Process Change.

Crucial will be the ability of both IM&T and clinical staff to implement the changes in processes and practice – at regional and local Trust level - that will enable the Programme’s technologies to operate and drive though the expected benefits. At the same time there is the additional need to partner effectively with the LSPs, and to plan for the other changes and initiatives that the Programme will make necessary, but which are not provided for in the core budget

Extensive research interviews over the last months have revealed an urgent need for information and discussion on these issues throughout the NHS PCTs and Hospital Trusts.

To meet this need, EyeforHealthcare is organizing Practical Steps to Implementation of NPfIT , on 8 & 9 Feb 2005.

Designed primarily for the IT Managers, Operations Managers, and Clinical Leaders (Medical, Nursing and Allied Healthcare Professionals) who will be involved in implementing the NPfIT, and related process change, at a local PCT and NHS Hospital Trust level, the Conference will focus entirely on these key areas:

• Update on the latest news on the National Programme


• Managing change to working practices


• Planning and managing systems & practices in the interim


• Setting agenda for Clinician engagement and training at a local level


• Budgeting for change management, legacy systems etc


• Case studies and examples of best practice and success stories

No other conference covers these “nuts and bolts” areas exclusively and with such focus. Look at the latest details of the updated programme or register your place now and secure a discount
