Health Policy and Technology is a cross-disciplinary journal which focuses on past, present and future health policy and the role of technology in clinical and non-clinical health environments. As a peer-reviewed journal, it aims to foster closer links with policy-makers, health professionals, health technology providers, patient groups and academia. The journal is owned by the registered charity, the Fellowship of Postgraduate Medicine (FPM) established in 1918 with the aim of ‘educating medical professionals’.
The first issue of Health Policy and Technology will be published in March 2012. This will be a special issue on: “Electronic Health Records in the 21st Century”.
