Mobile eHealth
UK Focus for Biomedical Engineering Briefing Seminar
Chairman: Professor Richard Kitney OBE FREng
2pm for 2.20pm at 29 Great Peter Street, London SW1P 3LW
This briefing seminar on eHealth addresses both changes in the access of healthcare information and services, as well as the wider dissemination of healthcare related skills and specialist expertise into the community, into the home, and ultimately to the individual. This transformation challenges the traditional roles of hospitals and clinics where healthcare exchange has always taken place in the past.

The Royal Academy of Engineering & Forum for the Future Lecture
Nuclear Power: economics and climate protection potential
Speaker: Amory Lovins, Chief Executive Officer of The Rocky Mountain Institute
at 66 Portland Place, London W1B
Nuclear power is often said to be the only resource large, fast, and reliable enough to meet the UK's and the world's needs for electricity. Observed market behaviour, however, suggests that nuclear power worldwide has already been overtaken by decentralised technologies on both the supply and the demand side, and that these enjoy a durable competitive advantage over nuclear power (or any other central-station solution) in cost, speed, reliability, and ultimate potential. If this is correct, then nuclear investments would worsen climate change because choosing lower-cost alternatives would have bought more solution per £ and per year.

6th Annual Regional Lecture and Spring Dinner
Speaker: Professor Robin Smith FREng
Chairman: Professor Michael Arthur
6.00pm at the University of Leeds, LS2 9JT
Professor Smith will describe the difficulties and successes in piecing together the various steps in chemical processes to design complete manufacturing systems. The design of such manufacturing systems must now be carried out against the background of a society that increasingly demands sustainable industrial activity. Bringing more systematic approaches to this activity of piecing together processes can bring step changes in process performance. It is possible that lessons might be learned by other engineering disciplines.
A dinner for invited Fellows and their guests will be held after the lecture at 7.30pm. In 2006 the Academy is awarding four Engineering Teaching Prizes. The Academy recognises that this occasion presents a perfect opportunity to acknowledge these winners, all based in the North of England. Each winner will be presented with their prize at the dinner.
