The NHS-HE Forum was set up in 2001 for IT and networking managers from both the NHS and Higher Education, with an interest in achieving two-way communication between NHSNet (now replaced by N3) and Janet. It is an informal group that relies on the influence, ideas and action of its individual members to make a difference.
Objectives of the Forum
This is the usual annual Scotland version of the NHS-HE Forum which has run as an additional, separate event since 2006 to particularly focus on the NHS-HE connectivity and shared content challenges in Scotland.
It last met in October 2012 and has been waiting on news on the Scotland Wide Area Network (SWAN) procurement which is set to replace N3 as the NHS network in Scotland. Ron MacDonald, Head of National Infrastructure Services at NHS National Services Scotland has agreed to be the key note speaker.
