28 July 2026
October 2026
Or train your team in-house
The same workshop, run for hospital trusts, primary care teams, medical schools, research groups, and health-tech teams. Half-day and full-day formats; content tailored to your group's clinical or research focus.
About the day
A mix of teaching, discussion, and hands-on work, kept deliberately small so there's room for questions and conversation.
Previous attendees have included hospital consultants, GPs, surgeons, nurses, biochemists, research managers, and students. The workshop is open to clinical and non-clinical healthcare professionals at 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.
Using AI tools today
How to actually get value out of these tools for your own work — writing, summarising, teaching prep, critical appraisal — and where they still fall short.
Build something with AI
A hands-on project using AI agents, run in small groups. Recent cohorts have built medical education games, clinic letter helpers, and clinical decision support prototypes. No technical experience needed.
Safety and governance
Privacy, bias, hallucinations, regulation, and where personal-tool use ends and clinical deployment begins.
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.

Healthcare professionals trained across eight cohorts
"Terrific presentations from a clearly knowledgeable and eloquent speaker. A great mix of subject matter."— Workshop participant, April 2026
"Explaining complex stuff in an easily understood way, being interactive — I really enjoyed the practical session."— Workshop participant, April 2026
"Loved making the games and the discussion. The history of LLM development was really useful."— Workshop participant, April 2026
"The perfect blend of technical and philosophical — communication style is perfect for a course of this nature."— Workshop participant, January 2026
Participants have ranged from experienced professionals who'd never touched an LLM to new graduates using them every day.
The facilitator
Dr Justin Healy
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.
