About the day
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.
Previous attendees have included hospital consultants, GPs, surgeons, nurses, biochemists, research managers, and students. No technical background needed. No preparation required. The workshop is open to clinical and non-clinical healthcare professionals of all levels.
This event has been accredited by the Royal Society of Medicine for 5 CPD points.
What you'll cover
How LLMs are built
Where ChatGPT and its competitors came from, how they're trained, and why that influences the answers they give.
The healthcare research so far
How LLMs perform in clinical scenarios, from laboratory studies to real-world patients, including the latest research on bias and harms.
Build something with AI
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.
The bigger questions
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.
