Across the previous two events in our series looking into the application of Artificial Intelligence in the NHS experts in the field have shared examples of successful implementation and the distance still to travel. Of course it's encouraging to talk about such systems as if they are everyday common place however, the reality is far from that. Challenges persist in their introduction and many can be traced back to behaviours in maintain organizational data, the commissioning process; engagement and expectation management.

Overcoming these barriers and arming you with the information to make informed choice on AI systems is the topic of our next event in the AI series 'practical challenges faced in implementing artificial intelligence technologies on the NHS frontline'. This event is open to professionals in healthcare and beyond and to those with an academic or personal interest in medical technology and artificial intelligence in medicine.

We look forward to you joining us on 8th December.

You will be sent the joining link automatically by Eventbrite two days, the day of and 10 minutes before the event starts.
