As technology continues to reshape healthcare, the TEL team is committed to integrating the latest advancements to enhance education and training for our workforce. Recently, we’ve embraced the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI), specifically large language models (LLMs), to support productivity, streamline research, and elevate the learning experience across our organisation. Here’s a look at some of the key activities our team has undertaken to support and guide AI integration for healthcare professionals.
Introductory Sessions on AI for Productivity and Research
To introduce the capabilities of large language models, the TEL team hosted a series of interactive sessions. These sessions provided participants with insights into the foundational concepts of LLMs, showcasing real-world applications that can enhance productivity, support research, and streamline administrative tasks. Attendees had the opportunity to explore the most used tools, observe demonstrations, learn about prompting and gain hands-on experience to better understand how these models can support day-to-day work.
Implementing AI Workflows in Digital Learning Design
The use of AI in digital learning design offers significant potential for creating engaging, effective educational resources. The TEL team has incorporated AI-driven workflows to optimise the development of digital content, making the process more efficient and personalised for our learners. These workflows help to streamline content creation, automate repetitive tasks, and support data-driven insights, allowing our team to focus on delivering high-quality, impactful learning experiences.
Training Foundation Year Doctors in LLM Applications
Recognising the unique needs of our foundation year doctors, we’ve arranged targeted sessions to help them leverage AI in their learning and practice. These sessions are designed to familiarise our foundation year doctors with the practical applications of LLMs, providing them with tools to assist with research and other relevant applications. By equipping them with AI knowledge early on, we’re empowering the next generation of healthcare professionals with tools that can support them throughout their careers.
Commitment to Ongoing AI Support for Education and Research
Our team is dedicated to supporting the integration of AI across our organisation, ensuring that our healthcare professionals and educators have the skills and resources needed to leverage these technologies for education and research. As we continue to expand our AI initiatives, we welcome those interested in exploring the potential of AI for their work.
