More details

From Snug:

On 17th May 2012, the Kingsgate Conference Centre in Peterborough will be host to the 4th Annual SNUG Conference.

This day long conference will bring together SystmOne users from a variety of settings, TPP, 3rd party suppliers and central policy makers to discuss, collaborate and explore the ongoing roles and future opportunities for SystemOne to contribute to patients’ health care needs in the ever changing NHS landscape.

Last year’s event was a great success and we have enhanced the programme this year to take account of feedback and new developements in strategy and focus with the aim of helping users make maximum use of their SystmOne clinical systems.

SystmOne has the 2nd largest GP system footprint in use throughout England and Wales and our aim is to use the success of previous SNUG conferences to provide a springboard for this year’s gathering to raise the profile, influence and membership of the National Usergroup to facilitate the better represention of our members and fellow SystmOne users at all levels of healthcare informatics negotiations and policy decision making.

We will be exhibiting at the BAHSHE 2012 conference this July in York. This was a great event last year and we are looking forward to seeing everyone again this year.
