An intensive one-day workshop for healthcare professionals who want to understand AI. You'll learn how large language models actually work, what the clinical evidence says about their use, and you'll build a working tool using AI agents. Previous attendees have included hospital consultants, GPs, surgeons, nurses, biochemists, research managers, and students. No prior experience needed.
Dr Justin Healy is a GP and hospital doctor at University College London Hospital, where he leads as chief investigator on several generative AI studies at the UCL Institute of Health Informatics. His research focuses on how large language models perform in real clinical settings.
Before moving into clinical informatics, he spent five years with Médecins Sans Frontières as a medical project manager across seven countries. He studied medical ethics at Manchester University, and public health at Harvard University.
A day of teaching, discussion, and hands-on work that will leave you with a solid understanding of what large language models are, what they can do, and how you can make best use of them today. The group is capped at 25 so there's room for discussion.
No technical background needed. No preparation required. The workshop is open to clinical and non-clinical healthcare professionals of all levels.
Where ChatGPT and its competitors came from, how they're trained, and why that influences the answers they give.
How LLMs perform in clinical scenarios, from laboratory studies to real-world patients, including the latest research on bias and harms.
A hands-on project using AI tools, including an introduction to AI agents. Previous participants have built clinical decision aids, educational games, and apps. No technical experience needed.
Small-group facilitated sessions on important challenges that AI poses: what to teach future clinicians, what should regulators consider, what this all may mean for patients and the NHS.
"I found the course to be incredibly insightful. The day was well-structured, providing clear progression and practical use cases. A very useful session."— Workshop participant
Participants have ranged from experienced professionals who have never touched an LLM to new graduates using them every day. Feedback has been consistently excellent; the hands-on project has been a particular highlight, providing participants with tools they have continued to use after the workshop.
