Introduction
The recent Health Foundation report on ‘Which technologies offer the biggest opportunities to save time in the NHS?’ highlights a lack of current IT expertise, that technologies are too difficult to use and there is a lack of available training. However, technologies such as AI are even harder to understand and will therefore be more challenging for NHS staff to implement as part of their everyday practice and, also as importantly, difficult to explain coherently to patients.
But how big a problem is this? And what can we do to fill in the skills gap?
About the event
The Clinical AI Interest Group are holding two online sessions ‘Clinical AI Skills Townhalls’ (17th June 10am – 11am and 20th June 4pm-5pm) to bring together a wide range of health professionals to understand the current problem around AI skills in the NHS workforce and what could be done about it.
Tell us about the AI upskilling needs of the NHS workforce, how you think this can be tackled and tell us about any current work you are doing in this area.
We will use these sessions to gather ideas and current resources in this area to form an idea of the next steps that can be taken.
We will have a further in person session on 2nd July 2024 (10am – 4pm) at The Alan Turing Institute to start work on ideas that have come from our online sessions.
