Dr Justin Healy

Justin is a GP and hospital doctor at UCLH and chief investigator on several generative AI studies at the UCL Institute of Health Informatics, where he researches how large language models perform in real NHS settings. He designed this workshop after noticing that most healthcare workers were curious about LLMs but had nowhere to get a proper, honest introduction.

Before moving into clinical informatics he spent eight years with Médecins Sans Frontières as a medical director across nine countries, and trained in public health at Harvard and medical ethics at Manchester.

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 in healthcare, and what the real questions are. The group is capped at 25 so there's room for proper conversation.

No technical background needed. Open to all clinical and non-clinical staff.

How LLMs are built

Where ChatGPT and its competitors came from, how they're trained, and why that matters for how much you should trust them.

The healthcare research so far

LLMs have been tested in triage, diagnostics, clinical reasoning, and patient communication. We'll look at what the studies actually show.

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 resources, games, and apps.

Group discussion

Small-group sessions on the questions that don't have settled answers yet — what to teach the next generation of clinicians, what regulators should be looking for, what patients should know.

What to bring

A laptop with a web browser. We'll sort out accounts and access to everything else on the day. The RSM is on Wimpole Street, a short walk from Oxford Circus. Lunch and coffee are included.
