On Thursday 12th June 2025, BSO attended the DHCNI Programme and Project Management (PPM) Forum in Craigavon Civic Centre.
The Half Day Conference, hosted by DHCNI gathered almost 100 HSCNI, DHCNI and BSO staff together to share good practice and learning.
The morning was an uplifting reflection on how digital solutions are making lives better for the people of Northern Ireland, transforming the way we deliver health, care and wellbeing services.
There were honest reflections on lessons learned from major implementations, NIDIS and CoreLIMS presented by Dermot Boyle, NIDIS Programme Manager and Gary Whiteside, Senior Data Migration Manager for CoreLIMS.
Joanne Allison, NIPACS+ Programme Manager, captivated the audience with an update on the BoneView AI Pilot which prompted interesting discussions on the future of AI in healthcare.
With a particular focus on benefits management throughout the forum, Padraic Tunney, Programme Manager for ePharmacy provided valuable insights into the development of Go Pharmacy Benefits.
The speakers were followed by round table discussions which included a question and answer session on Procurement, led by PaLS.
Thank you to DHCNI for hosting a great day outside the office to network and the opportunity to share good practice and learning from our colleagues.
