DRAFT AGENDA
Successful Implementation of Connecting for Health
2006
Accelerate Progress, Integrate Systems and Deliver Benefits with
the National IT Programme
3rd Annual Conference
London, January 30-31, 2006
Conference Overview:
Today, the NHS Connecting for Health Programme (CfH) is part of
the central strategic modernisation agendas of trust boards and
senior health service executives. As the importance of the Programme
grows, EyeforHealthcare returns with its 3rd Annual Conference:
“Successful Implementation of Connecting for Health”.
The widening audience, active participation and overwhelmingly positive
event feedback from the past two years have proven the growing hands-on
approach that stakeholders are taking - and the serious commitment
towards the success and benefits of the Programme. Challenged with
new objectives and higher demands by this project, it is more important
than ever to be communicating effectively for mutual exchange
of problems and concerns for faster progress. The Conference
addresses the most concerning issues in CfH implementation:
- The detailed plan for CfH implementation from 2006 onwards
- A realistic and current review of the progress towards implementation
of key components of the CfH Programme
- Update from LSPs on future plans for achieving an integrated
and effective IT system of eHealth within and amongst the Cluster
Regions

Case Studies from Trusts to the challenging problems of change
management, staffing, training, clinical engagement, effective
cooperation with your LSP and knowledgeable planning of your local
resources

questions from the leading professionals and gain valuable insights
