Hi Hackdayers....

Apologies for a lack of information on what is happening with the next few NHS Hack Days. Here's an update:

NHS Hack Day 'May' be smaller than advertised (but might still be on)

Normally we have our May NHS Hack Day in London, however there were some problems with the venue, meaning that although the May@London Hack Day may still go ahead, it will be in a reduced format, in a smaller venue, and further details will be announced soon. @davidmiller and @helenjackson are taking the lead on arrangements for the May@London event. Please watch the website and follow the @NHSHackDay twitter account for updates.

EXTRA! an NHS Hack Day in July - in association with the Digital Health CCIO/CIO Summer School. Location: Manchester.

This year we were approached by Digital Health Intelligence (home of the CCIO Leaders' Network and a range of other free networks of NHS clinical IT professionals) to do a full NHS Hack Day to follow on from their Summer School event in July. The NHS Hack Day bit is being organised by @marcusbaw and @davidmiller.

This will be a normal NHS Hack Day, open to all as usual, but additionally the Digital Health collaboration represents a great opportunity for more projects and teams from NHS Hack Day to break through into the world of 'real' NHS deployments and tech, by bringing those CCIOs, CIOs, CNIOs, NHS Digital, and others into the world of NHS Hack Day.

Dates: Saturday and Sunday 15th and 16th July 2017

Location: Federation Manchester (HQ of Co-op Digital)

Booking link: https://ti.to/nhshackday/nhshd-16-manchester

Important: Although this NHS Hack Day is being run 'in association with' another event, it is absolutely open to everyone as per any normal NHS Hack Day! The NHS Hack Day format will remain the same, and we're hoping to be able to muster up some good prizes.

Please share the link to the booking, via any and all channels you have available to you!
