This is to let you know in advance that the fees for the NCCQexamination will be going up by 20% from the March 2015 examination.

Dear IHRIM member,

We intend to organise a series of one day events across the UK which will be FREE to you (as a member of IHRIM) but which any of your non-IHRIM colleagues can also attend for a small fee to cover costs (£50 incl VAT).

BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, the UK Council of Health Informatics Professions (UKCHIP) and theInstitute of Health Records and Information Management (IHRIM) are working collaboratively to create a new federation for the Informatics profession. The three autonomous bodies will work closely together in a federation to ensure that UK health informatics is recognised as a valued profession.
