Mission
•
•
The organisations that form the National Health Service plus the ones that
provide social care form a multi-billion pound business sector that impacts
on the lives of every single person in the UK. Consequently, any
developments in technology that can make the work of these organisations
more efficient are to be encouraged.
Our broad aim is to bring our information systems and computer science
expertise to bear to make easier some of the day-to-day jobs involved in
healthcare delivery and administration. To achieve this we:
–
–
–
establish and maintain links with healthcare and social care professionals to keep
abreast of their problems and needs;
conduct research to investigate new solutions to relevant problems;
provide consultancy services to organisations and individuals in the health and
social care sector that wish to adopt information, communication and sensing
technologies.
