Healthcare Council to drive Intellect policy and communications Intellect, the UK association for the IT, telecommunication and electronics industries has held the inaugural meeting of its Healthcare Council. The Council is a representative group of member companies that will work on developing and co-ordinating Intellect healthcare policy and communications. The Council will bring focus to the work of the Healthcare Interest Group which will continue to provide a platform for key speakers and encourage debate among the wider Intellect membership.
Intellect has also been asked by Richard Granger, Director General of NHS IT to build a fully representative Supplier Consultation Group (SCG) which will include representatives from all NHS IT supplier bodies. The Council will help to provide Intellect contribution to the SCG agenda and seek to work directly with the National Programme Office on specific issues of concern for Intellect members.
Peter Dyke, Head of Market Management at BT Health and Chairman of the Healthcare Council said, "The Council will be working in consultation with the wider Intellect membership to ensure the right business environment exists for suppliers within the current market place. We are unanimous that our primary objective is the success of the NHS IT National Programme and within Intellect membership we have the capacity and expertise that will, in partner ship with the National Programme Office and NHS, ensure this success"
