IT Health Ed's services are based on on-going research, and feed directly or indirectly into research outputs in Journals, Books and Conference papers. In general, there are two broad areas::
  • Information Technology (IT) Education in the Health Sciences: this deals with issues involved in teaching Health Sciences' students to use IT, and supporting the development and use of online teaching tools and procedures.
  • The use of IT, especially the Internet, by Health Professionals. This focuses on the type of work that the student will need to perform after graduation.

These two areas dovetail at the point of student graduation - the one ensures that we have a detailed understanding of the IT needs of the qualified Health Professional, and the other supplies the tools to meet those needs.
