About the Awards

Please note: there are no Healthcare IT
Effectiveness Awards after 2005

"This year there were a large number of high quality entries. This reflects the good work being done in healthcare computing in the UK. The judges’ task was hard and the winners deserve their rewards.” Dr Glyn Hayes, MBChB, DRCOG, FBCS. President, UK Council for Health Informatics Professions; Chairman, Health Informatics Forum of the British Computer Society; and President, Primary Health Care Group of the BCS.

The awards result from collaboration between some of the most prominent organisations in UK healthcare information management:

• British Journal of Healthcare Computing and Information Management;
• the Department of Health; and
• the Health Informatics Forum of the British Computer Society.

The members of the Awarding Consortium, together with invited suppliers of the ICT industry, sponsor and contribute their time to the co-ordination and organisation of this worthwhile award scheme. During the last ten years more than 500 people from healthcare-related organisations have won an award.
