iSOFT offers bursaries to HC2008

iSOFT is offering bursaries to 10 healthcare professionals to attend this year's Healthcare Computing Conference & Exhibition (Harrogate, 21–23 April 2008) as part of a drive to encourage a next generation of doctors, nurses and professionals allied to medicine to play an active role in driving improvements in patient care through better use of IT. The offer is being made in partnership with the Event's organisers, BCS HIF and BJHC.

Paul Richards, Managing Director of iSOFT UK and Ireland, said: "iSOFT is passionate about creating real benefit through the adoption of appropriate technologies that make a direct contribution to the well-being of patients and the performance of clinical staff. Integral to this is the belief that clinicians and health professionals should be the next generation of informed IT adopters in the NHS."

Applications are encouraged from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as from England.

The bursaries include a three-day conference pass, travel expenses and an accommodation allowance. To apply, complete the form at www.isoftplc.com/iwanttogo
