HC 2005 Healthcare Computing Conference Harrogate 21-23 March 2005 A personal review by Rod Ward

These reports are written on the fly during the conference and posted on the web on a daily(ish) basis, as there are 5 concurrent themes I can not attend all sessions so these comments are based on my own experiences and views. This year I am attending the conference as a member of the press for the journal Computers Informatics Nursing.

Most of my immediate comments/thoughts/photos etc will be posted on the conference blog which I have pioneered with Peter Murray. You are welcome to comment on items on the blog or register & have more flexibility over what you post.

The official conference web sites is at: http://www.health-informatics.org/

Exhibition and Posters

My comments about the exhibition and posters will go here

The conference got underway with a wide rnage of delegates queing (but not for too long) at the registration desk.

The exhibition is going - however some of the big companies which have been here in previous years are notable by their absence & others the size of their stands have grown.	The BCS stand - had quite o lot of interest in membership
The IDX stand seemed to be the busiest on a first look around the stands	The iSoft stand was attracting people with nice coffee
The NHS-HE forum is attracting people interested in developing closer links between higher education and the NHS and promoting it's first meeting
