Dear NWRUGers For the first time, the one and only NHS Hack Day is coming to Manchester!
It's on the Saturday 12th and sunday 13th September 2015 and it's going to be held in Ziferblat Edge Street, Northern Quarter: http://www.ziferblat.co.uk/edgestmanchester.html On the Saturday morning participants 'pitch' their ideas and NHS problems to the audience of Health IT specialists, developers, patients and clinicians. They then form organically into teams and spend the rest of the weekend hacking solutions to these problems. On the Sunday hacking continues until the afternoon, then the solutions are presented to the judges. There are prizes for the best 3 projects. I'm sure that many NWRUGers would already be familiar with the Hack Day format - NHS Hack Day is similar but is NOT an overnight hack weekend, we very definitely break at about 5-6pm on the Saturday and go to the pub and get some food! It's a great way to get involved in Healthcare IT, to have a good sociable and exhilarating weekend, and to use your developer talents for the benefit of the NHS.
