"Knowledge Networks for Health" - Andy Hyde, Independent Consultant

Health practitioners can benefit from sharing experiences and resources with colleagues. Through its e-Library, NHS Education for Scotland is putting technologies in place to help practitioners to access and share knowledge across NHS Scotland. This the first step towards building knowledge networks and a wider learning environment.

There was an excellent question and answer session at the end of Andy's presentation, which led to many interesting conversations over drinks and nibbles.

The drinks and finger buffet was kindly sponsored by Mintel
