With the Whole System Demonstrator drawing to a conclusion and the UK adoption of assistive technologies continuing to grow, the telehealth and telecare agenda is now moving from one of experimentation to one of mainstream implementation.

The Yorkshire and Humber HIEC, in partnership with The Kings Fund, the Whole System Demonstrator Action Network, Telecare LIN and University of Hull are delivering this free 1-day conference which will bring together a range of expert speakers to highlight, discuss and advise on how mainstream implementation can be achieved.
