We are well into the planning of the event where we will be showcasing some of the exciting work the Digital and AI group have been leading on and hear from experts across the AHSN's and the NHS, including:

James Freed, Chief Information Officer for Health Education England and is passionate about digital literacy and the professionalism of health informaticians across the health and care system.

While we finalise the agenda, here is a quick preview on what we will be going through on the day, including:
