Health and Care Scotland specialist group

We’re a community of professionals and enthusiasts who are passionate about how IT and digital innovation can transform health and care in Scotland.

Welcome to our group!

We aim to inspire and channel the energy of people who are curious, enthusiastic or passionate for digital innovation in technology enabled health and care. 

There are areas where we can adopt open innovations, the development and dissemination of best practice, and influence policy makers to ensure the effective application of all things digital for the benefit of patients, health and care professionals, carers and the population of Scotland in general.

We are all about making IT good for society! We want to hear from you, and we look forward to welcoming you to our next event.

About us

BCS Health and Care Scotland is an evolution of the Health Informatics specialist group, created in the 1990s

We aim to promote the development and use of Health Informatics in Scotland to support effective, evidence based, efficient health and social care in areas of research, education, practice, and management decision making.

This is intended to benefit the health of individuals, communities, and populations that receive health and social care services and the staff and organisations that deliver health and related services.
