GGG the original 3g - Graham's Great and Good Interviews

Graham Wright has conducted the first of a sseries of iinterviews with the 'great and the good' from the world of health informatics. They were conducted at medinfo2007 in Brisbane and are on the chirad.org.uk website (>>> )

Many of our health informatics colleagues form around the world agreed to be interviewed - and the results are available for anyone to listen to as mp3 files (maybe technically not quite podcasts). The interviews will act as a valuable resource for the international health informatics community, and cover people with diverse expertise in many aspects of health informatics.

Further interviews will be conducted at future health informatics events - hopefully, starting at MIE2008 .
