If FHIR is key to your work, make sure to register before our Early Bird ends on November 1st. More information about our DevDays speakers and their sessions is also available here.

HL7 UK’s range of online courses has been extended.  We can now offer FHIR, HL7 V2, XDS and Standards Overview online throught Europe the Middle East and Africa.  Visit the Training page for details.

Just like the US edition in June, the next edition of DevDays in Europe (Nov 17-20 2020) will be entirely virtual. No travel required, no restrictions in time and space.  The organisers are inviting people from all across the FHIR community to share their insights and experiences. Whether you’ve worked on the FHIR spec, one of the FHIR libraries, or are involved in a FHIR implementation project, they want to hear from you.

See DevDays 2020 for details.

Book now to get Early Bird prices – available till the end of July.
