IHE-UK Members have always played an active part as Monitors at Connectathons since 2003 and almost 20 years on are still doing so. The sudden and untimely passing of two of the original IHE-UK members in 2018, Dr Nick Brown and Dr Dave Harvey, was commemorated by the IHE-Europe team at the Rennes Connectathon in April 2019, the last face-to-face event until that planned for 2022 in Montreux. IHE-Europe Connectathons were held remotely in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID pandemic restrictions.

UK attendees from all aspects of the UK Health IT sector including Interoperability experts, Procurement staff, Government IT staff, Independent Technical specialists, IT Consultants, Clinicians and Health Advisers have all contributed and still contribute to the important task of being a Monitor at both European and US Connectathons, and are expected at the 2022 IHE Connectathon.
