Welcome to Clinical Informatics

Clininf is the website of the Research & Health Outcomes Group at the University of Surrey.

 The Clinical Informatics Research Group has been involved in a wide range of projects over the last 12 years both in St. George's University of London and now the University of Surrey, around how technology can enable quality and support the implementation of clinical governance.
 As a group, we have over 100 full length peer review scientific research publications; we additionally have published over 50 other peer review journal articles, letters or editorials and in excess of this number of conference abstracts. We have direct links with an excellent group of international collaborators; and also links through the primary care informatics working groups of IMIA and EFMI (the International and European informatics organisations).
 This website was created with ease of access to information in mind, a principle of ours to everything we do. Information about our team, out fields of research, the past, current and future activities as well as new and an extensive list of our publications most of which are from now on, accessible by you.
 Please navigate through our website for information on the Clinical Informatics Group, our Enthusiastic Team of Principal Investigators, Researchers, Data Collectors, Analysts, IT Officers and our Management Team, visit our News section to read about recent activity, view and download information from the Publication list and should you have any questions, queries or collaboration ideas, use the Contact section and Email form to contact us directly. Finally, for the University of Surrey MSc in Health Care Management please use this link. In addition to our Master’s programme we welcome people looking to either complete academic (Doctor of Philosophy - PhD) or professional (Doctor of Business Administration - DBA) programmes.  We have wide experience of helping students successfully complete their doctoral theses.  We are keen to attract students from the UK and overseas passionate about how informatics might improve health care and its delivery. Those interested should initially make contact with the central administration to confirm their eligibility by following this link. Generally we like PhD students to have developed a proposal for their doctorate prior to starting.
 Finally, the strategy for the Department of Health Care Management and Policy includes developing informatics.  Please download our strategy, which sets out how we plan to develop informatics over the coming years.

 We hope you will find the content of our website and the group's activities interesting and we will value any feedback.
