Also speaking at the event will be Jonathan Armstrong, of solicitors Eversheds, who will highlight the legal problems of trading on the Internet such as domain names, defamation and data protection. Michelle Blair, designer of NCC s own web site, will speak about the development of the website and how important it is to build up a trust with the people you re working with, and how this extends to the setting up of secure certification schemes. The event will feature a live demonstration by Dr David Chadwick of how Salford University has developed high-security software to allow local GPs to access details of diabetic patients from the regional database. I am sure delegates will leave the event with the confidence to ask the right questions when they move into this field, said Daniel Dresner. Not only will they be able to draw on the experiences of the day but also use the basis of NCC s action plan to move their projects forward.
Price includes buffet lunch, materials and course booklet.
