On Thursday 26th February the Health Statistics User Group will be holding a half-day event at the Royal Statistical Society covering several new developments in health information. The event will run from 1pm-4pm, and will include sessions from five guest speakers. After the final session at 4pm, there will follow a general discussion on developments in health information - in particular on the role of HSUG and other user groups that are interested in health information issues, and how they can best work together to support health information developments. This discussion is expected to finish at around 5pm.
All who are interested in health information are welcome to attend. There is no charge for this event, and no need to register. The programme follows
