About BJHC Limited
Origins
In the spring of 1984, Hugh and Nettie de Glanville, trading as Meditext, launched The British Journal of Healthcare Computing (BJHC), and very soon afterwards the annual HC exhibitions and what are known today as BJHC's one-day events were started. As it grew, the business become increasingly independent from Meditext, and in 1990 it became a company in its own right, registered as BJHC Limited.
bjhc&im
BJHC
added 'information management' to its name in 1993, at the
start of the growing interest in this aspect of using IT, to become
The British Journal of Healthcare Computing & Information Management
(bjhc&im). In July 2007, The Birchley Hall Press became its new
owner: bjhc&im is now published only online, and all content is
freely available at
www.bjhcim.co.uk
HC exhibitions
The company wholly owns these and runs them at the same time as the annual HC conferences organised by members of the Health Informatics Forum of The British Computer Society. The longstanding business partnership between BJHC Limited and the BCS-HIF to produce the UK's most comprehensive update on developments in healthcare informatics sees its 25th year in 2008.
Information about the current HC event may be found at www.healthcare-computing.co.uk with further details about the conference and its organisers at www.health-informatics.org
Telecare events
These focus on the practicalities of deploying the many ways now
available for providing people with chronic illnesses and/or
disabilities, especially older people, with the support they need from
healthcare and socialcare services to live independently.

for details.
One-day conferences
Information about the present programme of one-day conferences with accompanying mini exhibitions may be found on the home page. They explore and disseminate experience — both positive and negative — on new and topical areas of information management and ICTs, so that best practice may become established more rapidly.
