IT EFFECTIVENESS AWARDS

From the 24^th - 26^th of March, the picturesque town of Harrogate will be hosting the largest Health Conference and Exhibition in Europe. This annual event is an opportunity for the world’s leading healthcare suppliers to exhibit their latest high-tech gadgets and gizmos. It is also a chance to attend various conferences chaired by key decision-makers for the National Programme  (NP) opportunity. Given the timing of this event with relation to the on-going NP bid, it is envisaged that Harrogate will be bustling with key customers, media and other company representatives.

Lockheed Martin has taken this opportunity to sponsor the annual Healthcare IT Effectiveness Awards at the event, with two other leading companies in UK Healthcare. The Awards result from the collaboration between some of the most prominent organisations in UK healthcare information management:

"As one of the world's leading advanced technology companies, Lockheed Martin is keen to support IT innovation and healthcare effectiveness," said Ron Christenson, Group Managing Director, Lockheed Martin UK Ltd Integrated Systems.

"We are delighted to be involved in the 2003 Healthcare IT Effectiveness Awards. Our interest in the health sector spans nearly 50 years and whilst we have specific product capabilities, our experience in prime contracting, programme management and systems integration position us strongly to support the needs of the NHS in the twenty first century," said Jeremy Nettle, Business Development Manager for civil programmes.

Lockheed Martin will be well represented with many National Programme team members attending the event. For more information on the Harrogate Health Conference and Exhibition please see the website http://www.healthcare-computing.co.uk
