The Clinician's Guide to Surviving IT cover

The NHS is currently in the middle of the biggest information technology project in Western Europe, which will fundamentally change the working practices of all NHS staff over the next five years. This book explains to ordinary clinicians why they should be bothered with IT, and what their responsibilities are in making it work. This book provides an enlightening and reassuring read that dispels ignorance and suspicion. The user friendly style is helpful, and friendly panels with tips, warnings, reflective pauses and key points highlight important details. It is also suitable for use as a student textbook. The Clinician's Guide to Surviving I.T. is a must for every doctor, nurse and midwife in the NHS.

"'This book is designed for clinicians, especially those who are nervous or just plain angry about the information technology that is being introduced into the NHS. It starts by explaining what IT can do for clinicians and patients, and goes on to outline clinician responsibilities towards the technology, what is needed to keep patients safe and to provide the best possible care for patients' Alan Gillies"
