:loudspeaker: :stethoscope: Come along, come along to the Clinical AI Skills Townhalls! AI upskilling of the NHS workforce: what training is out there? and what is still needed? Organised by the Clinical AI Interest Group, we are holding two open towns halls for anyone working in or related to the NHS to come and talk to us about Clinical AI Skills needs. 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. How big a problem is AI upskilling in the NHS? And what can we do to fill in the skills gap? Two online sessions - ‘Clinical AI Skills Townhalls’ If you are interested to attend one of our online sessions, please use the links below: Register for 17th June – 10am-11am UK time - https://turing-uk.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcucu6hrzgqGtc_OcyvgWBfFrR9JS-Y1HdD Register for 20th June 4pm-5pm UK time - https://turing-uk.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcpd-6vqzMtEtOlz-1dFGJQxjxdMQS4-yD1 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.

We are launching a new MRes in Advanced Artificial Intelligence at University of Sussex. This is a new, specially designed Masters course targeted at students interested in pursuing a career in AI research and development and goes beyond basic principles. It offers research-focused training that will equip students with the skills and knowledge for doctoral study, and industrial AI research or engineering roles. Students will explore: cutting-edge machine learning and bio-inspired AI techniques how AI can be applied in a range of contexts, and the potential of implications of this AI research and scientific communication skills A research project on a topic of their choice will give them the opportunity to develop and demonstrate their skills and understanding. At Sussex, they will learn from experts with an established history and reputation in AI. We have recently created Sussex AI, a Centre of Excellence, based in the Department of Informatics and led by members of the AI research group. All relevant details are on the course webpage. Please disseminate through your networks. And get in touch with any queries at all - Thanks.
