The Healthcare Computing Group is based in the Department of Information Systems at the University of Portsmouth and includes people from the School of Computer Science and Mathematics. We are a group of academics, research associates, research students and administrators. We do teaching, research and consultancy in health informatics. SIHI is one of the 10 focal institutes of the UK Institute for Health Informatics founded as a consequence of the Government's Foresight programme.

Health informatics is the application of computer science and information technology to healthcare.
We also contribute teaching to the PgC in Internet for Healthcare Professionals .
