It does look very interesting but I have to agree with Jeremy - £500 seems
a bit steep for a one day event. Its clearly aimed at cheif executive

useful for everyone.

>> January 2006 at The Cavendish Conference Centre, London.
>>
>> The one day conference will provide varying perspectives and
>> opportunities for open discussion between speakers and delegates on
>> what these new technologies can offer, how to implement them and how
>> to integrate them into the care of disabled adults and older people.
>>
>> I hope that some of you will be able to attend to express some of the
>> concerns mentioned about Telecare provision expressed here and in
>> other places.
