We can’t have our usual face to face meeting, sadly, but are heading online for a virtual edition of the HL7 UK Interoperability Forum.

It’s a late afternoon session (4pm to 6pm), so grab an after work drink and join us for 2 hours of talks about FHIR and UK hot topics.

We have some great speakers this time:

• Ian Williams and Richard Day, Nuffield Health – Adventures with FHIR eDischarge
• Richard Kavanagh, Graphnet Health – FSH: FHIR Shorthand
• Robert Worden, Open Mapping – Modelling methods for COVID-19
• Matt Steer and Matt Rudolph, DrDoctor – Using FHIR for sharing PROMs data

With more still to be confirmed.

This is a free event for HL7 UK members only. Non-members can attend one HL7 UK meeting, then are requested to join to attend further meetings.

The actual meeting online link will be sent out by email to those who have registered tickets, before the day.

Our FHIR Overview training course has been revamped to be given online.  We’ve already run a pilot course, which has told us it’s better to run it as 4 half-day sessions.  The next course will be run on 6,7,9,10 July – See FHIR® Overview course – Online version for details.

The 2020 Educational Challenge has been postponed because of COVID-19.  We hope to run it in the same form in 2021.

Following discussions with potential attendees we have decided to postpone the FHIR training course in April.  It seems that people are unwilling to plan future trips to London in the current uncertainty.  We are also told that London-based companies are encouraging people to work from home and keep out of the capital.  We are arranging a replacement course for early July.  Those who have already booked will be offered their money back or may transfer to the new date.

The 2020 HL7 UK Educational Challenge is now open for registration.  If you’re an undergraduate at a UK university and interested in clinical informatics, this is the chance to win a trip to Amsterdam to take part in the FHIR DevDays 2020.
