HEALTHCON 2010: Multiple dimensions of healthcare, the AHHA Congress

If you only attend one event in 2010 then it should be HEALTHCON 2010. This futuristic and action-packed programme will address the biggest issues in healthcare policy and management including how we communicate, how to make best use of powerful new technology and how to avoid getting swept up in future shock. We will also travel into the past to analyse the trends that appeared in the 20th Century, what should change and what is working well.
