These are the notes of the first meeting of the NHS-HE Information Governance Working Group. This Working Group is particularly looking at the NHS Information Governance Toolkit as it applies for research and education organisations & groups.
This case study describes a pilot implementation of eduroam at Weston General Hospital.
This is the first example of the eduroam footprint being extended to an NHS Trust without using a direct Trust to University network connection. Instead the authentication messages are initially channelled via the N3 Janet Gateway to the University of Bristol radius server which then handles further authentications on behalf of the NHS Trust. The NHS Trust provides the internet connectivity for the authenticated eduroam users.
This NHS-HE Forum meeting took place on 28th November 2013 from 10.30 (coffee from 10am, finishing at 3.30pm) at Herringham Hall, Regent’s University Conference Centre, Inner Circle, Regent’s Park, London, NW1 4NS

This is Natalie's presentation that launches her report on Web 2.0 and Social Media in Education and Research that she has produced on behalf of the NHS-HE Connectivity Best Practice Working Group. It aims to highlight the benefits and utility of these tools as well the risks and makes recommendations on how they should be handled in the NHS, as connectivity to such tools is often currently blocked in the NHS.
The NHS-HE Forum has been following closely the Jisc funded and Janet brokered BRISSkit Project which has designed and started to implement a national shared service to host, implement and deploy biomedical research database applications that support the management and integration of tissue samples with clinical data and electronic patient records.
