Excellent news has reached us from Greece, where Dr Khaled Sadek of the Health Care Management and Policy team won the best oral presentation prize at the recent fifth annual European Primary Care Cardiovascular Society (EPCCS) conference in Athens. Khaled’s presentation focused on the use of medical informatics to bridge the gap between IT and clinical practice in order to reduce cardiovascular disease, particularly in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease and concurrent anaemia. His illustration of the work of the School of Health Care Management and Policy’s Primary Care and Informatics Group also included a poster display.
