New e-Health Informatics Research Centre puts health records at the heart of research

The Minister for Universities and Science David Willetts has recently announced a historic £19 million investment to establish four e-health Research Centres of Excellence in London, Manchester, Dundee and Swansea.

The London Centre is a partnership between UCL, UCL Partners, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Queen Mary, University of London and the Health Protection Agency. It will be known as the Centre for Health service and Academic Partnership in Translational E-Health Research (CHAPTER) and will open later this year.

For more information read the UCL news story and visit the CHAPTER website.

e-Health: Building the UCL Community

UCL e-Health symposium, 22 November 2011


E-Health is the use of new information and communication technologies to improve health and health care, and may be one solution to the well described problems faced by all health care systems as a result of an ageing population, an increase in the prevalence of long term conditions, rising costs of treatment or investigation, and rising expectations from the population.

A symposium on 22nd November explored UCL’s contribution to addressing these problems, by bringing together the enormously varied community of researchers with an interest in e-health to showcase their work, and exchange expertise, interests and ideas, with a view to establishing future collaborations and strengthening UCL as a research centre for e-Health

We had an exciting programme of internationally renowned speakers including Professor Harry Hemingway, Professor Peter Coveney, Professor Carol Dezateux, Professor Nick Freemantle, Professor Ann Blandford and Professor Philip Treleaven.
