The aims of this Research Development Group are:

• To advance interdisciplinary research in the areas of knowledge, innovation and the use of new information and communications technologies in healthcare.
  
• To foster collaboration across departments at Warwick researching information and communication technologies in healthcare and those investigating the implications of these innovations on medical practice, patients’ experiences and society more generally.
  
• To invite external speakers to give seminars on relevant topics.
  
• To organise a journal club and inspire cross-disciplinary research discussions.
