_ __SAXON CONNOR, HEPATOBILIARY-PANCREATIC (HPB) SURGEON, CDHB_
Saxon has been an HPB Surgeon at Christchurch Hospital since 2005. His
research interests have focused on clinical issues including safe
cholecystectomy, bile duct injury, minimally invasive pancreatic
necrosectomy, enhanced recovery surgery and post pancreatectomy
pancreatitis. He has taken a role as the e-clinical health lead for
the Canterbury district health board with the aim of helping to
establish a digital health system. He has been involved with tech
companies bringing electronic workflow solutions for clinicians from
concept to production. An Editor of HPB he also sits on editorial
boards of the World Journal of Surgery and British Journal of Surgery.
He is on the council of APHPBA and the research committee of the
IHPBA.
TOPIC: _'BRINGING SOFTWARE TO THE SURGICAL COALFACE: LESSONS LEARNED
SO FAR'_
Saxons talk will focus on the lessons learned from developing,
optimising and deploying a health software application in a real
clinical environment.

_PETER DOOLEY__,__ CHARGE MRI MRT AT CDHB_
Peter is a practising MRI MIT and is currently the MRI team leader at
Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB). Peter is passionate about
embracing new technology to improve the experience in the health care
setting. Peter Is working with Ian Taylor from Animation research
limited to build content for his clinical work.
TOPIC: _'__USING VIRTUAL REALITY IN A CLINICAL SETTING'_
High levels of sedation for many procedures are used in the Canterbury
Health System driven in part by increasing levels of mental health
issues and anxiety. Peter Dooley Team Leader of MRI at Christchurch
Hospital strategy is to use Virtual Reality in a cost-effective, safe
and engaging way to inform and build trust in young patients. By
putting children in a simulated reality, it would give them back some
control of the experience and provide a means of understanding what
would be happening to them. To experience, albeit, in an imaginary
way, the procedure would allow children to stay in better control of
their emotions and negate the need for sedation.
