That was the topic of a meeting of the Associate Parliamentary Engineering Group which brought together engineers and Parliamentarians to debate the way forward.http://www.raeng.org.uk/news/releases/shownews.htm?NewsID=544press@raeng.org.ukWed, 3 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.raeng.org.uk/news/releases/shownews.htm?NewsID=544On 19 January the Academy hosted a briefing seminar on the integration of technologies into the clinical environment. Globally, healthcare is becoming increasingly dependent on engineering technology. The UK has plenty of expertise in the research and development of such technology, but historically we have been less adept at exploiting and integrating these developments into the clinical environment for the benefit of patients and the UK economy. In recent years, it has become recognised that both benefits need to be realised and organisations now exist to encourage those processes.http://www.raeng.org.uk/news/releases/shownews.htm?NewsID=543press@raeng.org.ukFri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.raeng.org.uk/news/releases/shownews.htm?NewsID=543
