>Informatics (NoEIHI) on

>the NoEIHI.
>The aim is to share views on current issues in Health Informatics and
>identify areas for
>potential collaboration.

>Anyone from your organisation who is interested in Health Informatics is
>invited, but if the meeting is oversubscribed numbers will have to be
>restricted to people from the partner organisations involved in NoEIHI.

>government and academia.
