I am emailing just to make contact & say "hi" really. I work part time in village practice, am GP trainer & Course Organiser ( Programme Director) & have been for past 20 years including chairmanship of the ACO for 4 years. I now also work part time at the Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) course in Derby where I take a lead of PBL development & delivery. Our approach to PBL is a Complex Adaptive System Approach "CASA" which captures group dynamics and student centred learning principles. I have been working with & using complexity in education for some years too. Sadly I will not be able to comit to this think tank of 25 folk at thi sstage of events; clash of dates. cheers Shake Declan Murphy <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Dear Robert, I am a GP in Ireland (Rep. of I.) with a long standing interest in Complexity especially in relation to health policy. I am a former chair and also president of the Irish College of General Practitioners, and was a member of a small group that devised health policy for the main opposition political party (Fine Gael) in Ireland in the last two general elections (both of which we lost!). I gave the Foundation Lecture at the ICGP AGM in 2006 on the topic 'Consulting with complexity'. I am a full time journey-man GP (and trainer), with virtually no research experience, and am an enthusiast but not a professional in the complexity field. However I would be fascinated by the conference you are organizing, and would have an interest in hearing about it regardless of the ESF funding. Yours Sincerely, (Dr.) Declan Murphy. -----Original Message----- From: Complexity and chaos theories applied to primary medical and social care [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Geyer, Robert Sent: 21 April 2008 10:42 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Complexity in Management and Public Policy Dear listmembers, I need your help with a complexity and health workshop. Helen Cooper and I are organising a 2 and 1/2 day workshop on complexity and European health policy in Spring/Summer 2009 at Lancaster University UK and are applying for funding from the European Science Foundation. They will fully fund 25 participants from outside of the UK, but within Europe. However, they need a preliminary list of participants to be sent with the application and it is due by the end of this week. If you are outside of the UK but based in Europe, work on Complexity and health and would like to attend, can you please send me an email with your name, affiliation and details and we will put you on the list. Thank you for your time and attention.

Has complexity gone to sleep? Are people working on things which are just bubbling under? How has the field moved on? Go on folks, rouse the slumbering giant, and send the list a paragraph on how you see complexity developing in healthcare.
