Conference Chair: Roy Lilley
Writer and broadcaster on health.
"Technology is part of all our lives. The �hole-in-the-wall� machine, on-line books, booking and holidays and web-cams for chats with family and friends. Why not for health-care? The truth is there are some spectacular examples of what tele-care and health can achieve; personal, immediate, reassuring and value for money care. We will hear about them at this pivotal conference and have take-home ideas, facts and information to put into action.
"This is an idea and a technology whose time has come. Politicians, strategists, planners and commentators know and the public are coming to expect it. This is the time."
