LONDON, June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan will host its prestigious 2006 Excellence in Healthcare Awards Banquet on Wednesday, July 12th, 2006 at One Whitehall Place, London.
At the banquet, Frost & Sullivan will honour companies for their business achievements in a variety of regional and global healthcare markets. The companies commended as award winners are those with the diligence, perseverance as well as dedication required to develop a successful business plan and excel in the increasingly competitive global marketplace.
Mr. Gary Jeffrey, European Director of Operations, Frost & Sullivan will welcome banquet attendees. The keynote speech will be delivered by Mr. John Higgins, Director General of Intellect, the UK trade association for the IT, telecoms and electronics industries. Mr. Higgins will focus on the importance of committing to the timely delivery of healthcare IT in order to enhance patient care without compromising on quality and safety standards.
"There are many interesting IT products and solutions available, but unfortunately due to financial constraints these technologies are not being as widely used as they should be," says Mr. Higgins. "Intellect calls on the government to take a long-term approach and invest in these innovative solutions. We have no choice but to introduce these new devices into our health service in order to maintain, let alone improve, standards of healthcare for an increasingly ageing population."
Following this will be the evening's highlight - a glittering Awards presentation ceremony that will recognise outstanding performers in the healthcare industry. Frost & Sullivan will present Awards across the drug discovery technologies, healthcare and life sciences IT, medical imaging, patient monitoring and medical devices arenas.
