Digital Scribing - University of Winchester

Yesterday I was working as a digital scribe in Winchester. This event was titled 'Digital Health and Wellbeing' and the way the NHS is moving care to be more about self-managed care. There were clinicians, a computer scientist and patients, starting the conversations and learnings for the week - it's fascinating because it's the future of healthcare, but in many ways it's already here.

Camden Evening and Night Time Citizens' Assembly - final week

Addressing the AI Skills gap in the UK, AI in Health and Transport

I'm working at a research workshop tomorrow all about AI, the skills gap and looking at future scenarios in the healthcare and transport sector, so have done a bit of limbering up to get in the right frame of mind.

AI has been in the news a lot in the past few weeks, with ChatGBT and the development of software that creates images from text or a brief description. 

Will us scribes and illustrators still have a job in the next few years...? Maybe I'll find out tomorrow!
