Metro North IT is inviting employees from Metro North Hospital and Health Service to spend a day at our Inaugural Hackathon 2016, themed “Let’s make health technology work better for us.” The Hackathon is designed for collaboration with both our application developers and healthcare professionals with a view to improve the use of technology in local systems across Metro North Hospital and Health Service.
