"Digital Primary health Care, IT matters"

Thursday 9 November 2023

The primary care recovery plan emphasises the use of digital to support
general practice. Our aim is to provide some practical examples of how others have tackled the challenges using digital tools.

You will get a free lunch and amongst other sessions will hear how:

• A well known practice manages access
• a GP federation supports population health management for multiple PCNs
• learn about the plans for the NHS APP
• hear how patient communication is being addressed across multiple practices across the country
• you will also hear from those shortlisted for the Hildi Franke Award aimed at those early in their informatics career.

Our FREE education day is aimed at those working in and with general practice with an interest in IT and informatics including the digital transformation leads. Network with other practices, meet new people and learn about how others in primary care are tackling IT and The BCS PHCSG have been running these free education days for several years. If you are interested in technology and or IT, are a seasoned professional or just interested, come along to meet us. Please register now as tickets are limited.

Don’t forget our prizes: We have two prizes available, one for those at the beginning of their informatics career and another for those more experienced. Visit our page to apply now. Don’t be shy!

42nd Annual Conference

"Reframing digital primary care"

Friday 10 November 2023

We are on the cusp of a digital health revolution. AI and Algorithms will affect every health care decision we make. If this revolution is to achieve the maximum benefit and cause the minimum harm, we need to reframe Primary Care.

To that end we have two keynotes this year to challenge our thinking:

1. All the way from Denmark, Drs John Brodersen and Alexandra Jensson
2. Professor Jack Dowie, London school of Hygiene and Tropical medicine

If you are interested in technology/informatics and would like to consider how it might impact general practice, PCNs and position general practice well in your ICS, this is the conference for you. Attendees include researchers, academics, practicing and retired GPs, nurses, students, practice managers, digital transformation leads other primary care staff, suppliers to primary care, RCGP and NHS staff including NHS Digital.

Conference is intimate and works under Chatham house rule so that we can have open conversations in a safe environment. We look forward to seeing you in November.
