Thursday December 4th : 6.00 pm in
London
MEDICINE ON THE EDGE
Surgeon Captain Peter
Buxton, OBE
The next meeting of the Specialist Group will be held on Thursday
December 4th at the BCS in the Davidson Building, 5 Southampton Street,
WC2E 7HA
It will start at 6.00 (Refreshments will be available from 5.30)
As an abstract, Peter writes:
Medical advice to someone
in a remote location must be both timely and competent. The advice must
be appropriate to the person’s situation; ideally the information
should reach them no matter where they are located.
Any solution must be
based around these requirements; developing a clever solution and then
looking for a problem is always incorrect.
When designing a solution
we should answer the following questions:
- It may be possible but
is it desirable?
- What is the actual
requirement?
- What is the simplest
solution?
- Is the solution
reliable?
If we get this right we
will support someone working ‘on the edge’. If we
don’t we will push them over it.
As usual, there will be a discussion following the presentation.
In order to meet the BCS security requirements and to ensure that we
order sufficient food, please email krc@imf.co.uk
if you are planning to attend. (If you arrive later than 6.00 pm, you
may need to ring the buzzer by the main door, make your way to the back
entrance on Exeter Street and wait for whoever is working on BCS
reception to come down to let you in.)
Interactive Web Conferences
It is the intention that all the seminars run by the group will also be
streamed as interactive web-based conferences for those who are unable
to join us. Some seminars may be run entirely as web-based events. The
recordings of these seminars will also be available on-line. We will be
using the Interwise web-based conferencing system sponsored by the DTI
Knowledge Transfer Network. More details on the system are available by
registering (free) with the Health Technologies KTN at http://ktn.globalwatchonline.com/epicentric_portal/site/healthtech
and then going to the Conference Centre where you can download the
client software.
