Nursing in the Information Age, Auckland - 5th May 2006

Health Informatics New Zealand and the School of Nursing at the University of Auckland invite you to a seminar.

Guest Speaker: Carol Bond
Senior Lecturer, Health Informatics. Bournemouth University. UK.

Carol has been awarded a Florence Nightingale Foundation Travel Scholarship, sponsored by the English Department of Health to visit New Zealand to see how nurses are using computers in their work.

Carol leads health and social care informatics across The Institute of Health & Community Studies and, with a small team, teach informatics across most of the courses. She is also the course leader for BSc Health Studies (Health Informatics). Her research interests focus on the use of information and technology to support professional practice.

She will share her experience of the state of health informatics in the UK and her doctoral research on the role of education in preparing nurses for working in an evolving workplace. She is very interested to hear from New Zealand nurses so discussion time is an important part of this seminar.

Nursing informatics is the integration of nursing, its information, and information management with information processing and communication technology, to support the health of people world wide.
