Thierry:
A meeting in London on a Friday evening is not very convenient,
because of travel cost and difficulties, weekend arrangements, etc.
With the original date, four of us from Cardiff were going to travel
to London to hear this important talk. I'm afraid that if the new Friday
date prevails none of us will be able to attend.
I sympathise with you in trying to satisfy everyone's wishes,
and realise that you will not be able to satisfy all, so I am just putting
in my opinion - as have my good friends Mike Pidd and Ray Paul!!
Best wishes,
Jeff

The Coming of 'Mashnet' - A New Network for Modelling and Simulation in
Healthcare
Date: FRIDAY 3 December 2004, 16:30-18:30
Venue: Room C2.15, University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street,
London
Abstract:
Recently the EPSRC awarded a three year grant of £60K to fund 'Mashnet' a
new research network for modelling and simulation in healthcare. This
project due to start in early 2005 was initiated some time ago at an OR
healthcare simulation workshop where participants emphasised the need for
such a network to be established. The application, submitted early in 2004,
received input and support from a wide range of people with differing
backgrounds in the area.
Specifically Mashnet will aim to bring together the three communities of
health services, academic research and industry to establish a common
framework of communication both within and between these domains in order to
promote more successful research and implementation. This presentation will
outline the principle objectives of Mashnet and explore the potential of
this new network. Key areas of communication will be highlighted as central
to the successful future development of modelling and simulation in
healthcare within this context.
The presentation will be followed by an extended discussion session in which
participants will be encouraged to share their views about the role Mashnet
can serve and activities they would like to see organised. This discussion
will also present an opportunity for those wishing to take an active role in
the organisation of Mashnet to come forward.
Mini-biography:
Dr Martin Pitt currently works as a decision analyst and health modeller for
the Peninsula Technology Assessment Group based in the new Peninsula Medical
School in Exeter. His research background is in modelling for health
technology assessment and in computer simulation to support healthcare
management with a special interest in information visualisation in these
fields. He has worked in both research and applied areas of healthcare. He
also lectures on modelling and animation at the Department of Computer
Science at Exeter University.
