title: Working with industry to improve IT.
abstract: Information technology plays an increasingly important role in healthcare, with nurses split over whether this is to the benefit or detriment of nursing care. This article discusses how NHS nurses can work with those developing the technology. This approach will ensure that what is developed will be relevant to nursing care and that both nurses and patients gain the maximum benefit from advances in health technology.
