Workshop invitation and survey – using algorithmic and AI tools in health and social care

Workshop invitation and survey – using algorithmic and AI tools in health and social care

The growing use of algorithms and AI tools to support delivery of care – for example, risk assessment tools, monitoring tools, and tools to support capacity management –  has implications for learning and workforce development at all levels. Scotland’s Digital Health and Care Strategy sets out an objective to “equip our staff with the ability to understand and interrogate data-driven recommendations and decision support tools, including those powered by Artificial Intelligence.”

DHI Scotland and NHS Scotland are now offering two opportunities for you to contribute your perspective on these learning and workforce development needs. They would really appreciate hearing your views by:

  1. Completing this short (10-15 minutes) Questionnaire survey
  2. Joining the virtual workshop “Using AI and algorithms with confidence”  11.00 am – 1.00 pm on 23rd August.  This workshop brings together leaders in the field to share their expertise and insights. It is a great opportunity to learn from experts in the field and to contribute your perspective on developing the workforce to realise the full benefits of these tools. The workshop programme is available below and you can register here using this booking form.
