Information management and information technology now pervade all areas of health care. A revolution in information management allied to new technology is taking place within the UK National Health Service. Millions of pounds are being spent on this technology. And much of the benefit will be lost if appropriate training and education are not available.
 
This comprehensive book sets out the scope and range of training needed and available. Written by experienced NHS staff who have been at the forefront of the development of new information systems for health care, and by experts in education and training. It is designed to provide guidance to those in the NHS and in the international medical community who are responsible for training and staff development in the skills of information management and technology.
 
Published in association with the NHS Training Directorate, Information Management and Technology in Healthcare: a guide to education and training will be useful for managers at all levels and in all departments. Educationalists and trainers in all disciplines will find this invaluable in deciding how to develop and deliver IM&T training. NHS staff wishing to be trained in IM&T will be able to identify the various options available.
 
Exhaustive and authoritative, this sourcebook distills the knowledge and experience of many of those most deeply involved in the provision of training and education for IM&T in health care. It will prove invaluable for medical and healthcare professionals worldwide.
