Breaking Boundaries: opening keynotes

Introduced by Megan Quentin-Baxter, Deputy Director, David Dewhurst took us through the links between the ACETS conference, which had concluded that morning, linking it to the Breaking Boundaries event. Rachel Ellaway posed some questions and then Reg Jordan gave the keynote speech, his theme the changes that MEDEV (formerly LTSN-01) has gone through and the changes in medical, dental and veterinary education of the past and the coming decades. In the evening there was a webcast of a talk by John Halamka, Chief Information Officer at Harvard Medical School.

Breaking Boundaries 2005

I'm at Breaking Boundaries 2005, organised by the Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine in the Apex International in Grassmarket, Edinburgh.
There's wireless everywhere, so blogging the event will not be the struggle that it has been elsewhere.
