Additional information for delegates

Aims of the National ePrescribing forum:

* To share information and lessons learnt in the field of ePrescribing
* To identify the impact of ePrescribing on different professional groups and patients
* To begin the development of a self supporting community to move ePrescribing forward across trusts in England

Who should attend:

ePrescribing will affect most of the professional groups and clinical specialties operating within hospitals.

We are therefore looking to attract a mix of healthcare professionals from trusts - particularly those who are considering implementing ePrescribing, or are already doing so - including: doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists and trust IT staff and managers.
