Launching the BT e-Health Insider Awards ‘07, editor, Jon Hoeksma, said: “It’s great that BT is supporting these awards. There’s a lot of good work going on in healthcare ICT around the country and the staff who make these projects and programmes happen receive few plaudits. We hope the awards will highlight the achievements of this group generally and give some long overdue recognition to the stars among them.”
