Keynote Address
Dr Charles Gutteridge (confirmed)
National Clinical Director for Informatics, Department of Health
“Information revolution: the importance of informatics and technology to improving healthcare”
Information is a health and care service in its own right: it has the power to transform the experiences of patients, service users and care professionals. This speech will broach how the government's commitment to the transformation of healthcare informatics is a crucial component of its wider transparency agenda, and what direction the recently published NHS Information Strategy looks set to take in its implementation.

Nick Gaunt (confirmed)
Chief Information and Knowledge Officer, NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement
“Innovation and technology in healthcare”
Technology and innovation are often looked upon as saviours of healthcare, yet too often new technologies fail to fulfil their promise and innovations fail to take hold. What lessons might they take from each other? Can methods for bringing about large-scale change help informatics programmes? Does technology have a role in improving spread and adoption of innovations? Taking an integrated approach by combining the two might just be the ticket.

Dr Anna Bayes (confirmed)
Doctor and Management Consultant in Healthcare
“Clinical Technology Adoption: Making it easy”
With technology breakthroughs in speech recognition resulting in greater accuracy and functionality the opportunities to integrate Nuance speech recognition solutions in to the transformation process in healthcare have never been greater. Nuance provide wide selections of speech recognition solutions delivering immediate recognition, deferred recognition at the desktop, in the cloud or over the network to hospitals in the NHS. International projects in clinical environments are providing the direction for NHS Trusts showing them how to incorporate speech recognition in to their strategy going forward. Dr Anna Bayes, a hospital doctor with extensive change management experience working in clinical systems deployment for 9 years will discuss an example beacon project for emergency departments and discharge summaries and the impact on the doctor acceptance and use of clinical technology. In particular focusing on the discussion surrounding reducing the time to generate a complete, electronic discharge summary in New South Wales, Australia using Speech Recognition.

Giles Wilmore (confirmed)
Director of Patient and Public Voice and Information, NHS Commissioning Board Authority
“Creating sustainable quality improvements and efficiencies with informatics and technology”
From monitoring productivity to informing improved procurement and invoicing processes, technology holds an important key to allowing the NHS to make the very best of its funds and deliver excellent quality services. Conversely, poor information management procedures can prove extremely costly and detrimental to patient care: lost patient records, for example, are estimated to cost as much as £350,000 per year per trust and can put patients at risk. What role can employees across the NHS play in facilitating efficient information governance to aid quality and productivity improvements, and how can this be encouraged?

Christopher Fincken (confirmed)
Chair, Caldicott Guardian Council
“Confidentiality and collaboration: Appropriate sharing of medical information with patients and professionals”
With increasing calls for movement towards integrated models of care, information must be shared appropriately by the NHS with patients, other care providers, and research groups, but how do we judge what 'appropriate' is? These are issues that were broached in the original Caldicott Review 15 years ago that led to the creation of Caldicott Guardians as safeguards. Now, with a second review under way, what lessons have been learned, and how much closer are we to achieving a data provision capable of supporting truly joined-up care? With the very real threat of hefty fines from the ICO for breaches of patient data confidentiality, how can healthcare professionals ensure that their practices are not putting their organisation at risk of losing hundreds of thousands of pounds?

Phil Walker (confirmed)
Head of Digital Information Policy, Department of Health
“Information as patient empowerment: from strategy to implementation”
Increasing people's access and control to their health records has been shown to have an array of positive consequences, including making them better informed about and able to manage their own care, and improving their relationships with clinicians. A drive for increased patient control is captured in the 'No decision about me, without me' mantra of the Information Revolution papers, and in the recently published NHS Information Strategy, but exactly what kind of control does the government envisage and how can this be delivered?

Dr Paul Hodgkin (confirmed)
Founder and CEO, Patient Opinion
“The importance of feedback: how informatics can put the patient at the heart of the NHS and improve commissioning”
Information from patients is a reliable indicator of hospital performance that can drive important changes and developments in service design and provision. However, patient feedback is chronically under-used and even ignored in large areas of the NHS. What can be done to encourage patient-informed practice, and how do we go about successfully engaging with and capturing this data?
