Could there be a session for nurses and IT? in the area of what is
available to record public health population focussed work with people, and
perhaps a group session for nurses to share IT successes anbd failures. What
works and what does not work. I work in Bradford at the HA as part of the
National HV / SN Leadership team. I would be interested in attending the
conference. Any dates yet?
