As part of a multidisciplinary collaboration between the Universities of Edinburgh, Birmingham and Nottingham we are undertaking a project to investigate the implementation, adoption and effectiveness of e-Prescribing systems in English hospitals.

Whether you need a system, are implementing a system, or are looking to expand and enhance your capability in this area – this symposium is for you.

Bringing together suppliers, academic partners and NHS staff, we want to build the networks, understand the needs of the health-service, and most importantly to share good practice and develop research questions for the future.

Aims of the day:

For new implementations or those looking to implement in the near future – what to choose, how do you use it, why do you want it?

For those with current e-Prescribing systems – what can you learn from or share with others?

How can research find the answers to questions to support e-Prescribing delivery in the NHS (developing a toolkit for the NHS)
