One problem is that as a vendor, we have to work to the lowest common denominator. It's still generally a requirement that you support IE6, despite the department of health encoura…

As a vendor in the UK, we have been integrating the CUI for the last few years. The quality of the guidance is mixed - there is good evidence that having a "Patient Banner" in a co…
