Will there be much mileage in non-technical people attending? I notice that a lot of the weekend will be spent on "coding", which I imagine to mean a bunch of enthusiastic programmers talking excitedly in binary.

Yes!
There were (they've all gone now) 3 types of ticket: Developer, Doctor, Supporter.
The weekend will broadly be geeks who love the NHS meeting to make stuff. It will be very unstructured and likely bear no resemblance. http://nhshackday.com/?page_id=51 amended to reflect this :-)
If you're keen to come let me know and I'll add you to the reserves list.
Best, Carl

Not sure if any of you are aware of this initiative in the US. It
could provide a framework for adding value to EHRs in the UK NHS too.

Not sure if anyone wants to consider doing some stuff with this
concept in the NHS Hack Day?

Yes, it is *essential* that non-technical people attend. Here's why:
I'm a developer and (luckily) I've had very little contact with
doctors, nurses, hospitals and medicine in general. My outlook on what
doctors do is basically informed by the "machine that goes ping"
sketch from the Meaning of Life and the odd titbit I hear from
relatives who are doctors. If you asked *me* to hack on something
health related I'd produce something that probably won't be that
useful. I don't know what the important and pressing problems are that
affect medical practitioners which could be solved with cunning use of
IT. That's where you'd come in...
As an attendee developer I'd love to meet doctors and other front-line
medical staff so they can explain their problems and gripes. Perhaps
we can make the machine that goes ping, go pong. :-)
