AI in social care: a practical how-to day for care providers

Artificial intelligence is moving quickly from promise to practice in adult social care. From overnight resident monitoring to automated care-plan write-ups, care providers are being offered a growing range of AI tools. Knowing where to start, which use cases are worth pursuing and how to adopt them safely is the hard part.

techUK, in partnership with the National Care Forum (NCF), Digital Care Hub and the AI in Care Alliance, is hosting a practical 'how to' day on AI for care providers. Designed for leaders and teams in care organisations, the day cuts through the hype and focuses on what adoption actually looks like in practice, from choosing the right problem to solve through to governance, risk and bringing staff with you.

Through presentations, real-world examples, a care provider's own story and a panel discussion, the day will give attendees the confidence and tools to take their next steps with AI.
