Abstract :
This is a story of 24 months in an NHS Trust Hospital (in the UK) as experienced by an engineer who abandoned pure engineering to become a computer systems professional (to use a phrase of the times). Having spent 11 years in the industrial sector working on medium to large system control systems, one takes the skills and experience obtained and translates them into pure analysis and creating a practical and realistic solution. This is not singularly a technical solution, it involves people, and hence the subtitle of ´technology versus people´.
