SUMMARY:AI\, Literacy & Trust: What Communities Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is already part of everyday life; helping shape healthcare\, public services and how people access support. \n \nBut many people feel AI is happening to them rather than with them. \n \n\n\nWhat does AI actually mean for communities? \n\n\nCan we trust it? \n\n\nWho decides how it’s used? \n\n\nAnd how do we make sure it works fairly for everyone? \n\n\n \n\n\nThis event creates space for an open\, honest conversation about understanding AI\, building trust and making sure communities have a voice in how technology is designed and used. \n \nNo jargon. No hype. Just real discussion about what matters.

SUMMARY:OHT Better HealthTech by Design: Better Together: Clinicians + Designers in the NHS
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\n\n\n\nExploring why innovation in healthcare often fails at adoption and how a wider\, UX-led approach can create meaningful change long before technology is fully implemented. \n \nDrawing from real NHS case studies across rheumatology\, cardiology\, and neurology\, this session shares lessons from designing services with clinicians\, patients\, and multidisciplinary teams to improve pathways\, reduce friction\, and build trust in complex healthcare environments. \n \nRather than focusing purely on technology\, this talk explores how human-centred design\, collaboration\, and behavioural understanding can drive sustainable innovation in the NHS. \n \nSpeakers\nLaura Smith\, Service Designer and Researcher\, Unboxed \nDr William Bradlow\, Cardiology Consultant\, University Hospital Birmingham

SUMMARY:Digital Poverty: When Access Isn’t Equal
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\n\n\n\nDigital services are increasingly becoming the default way people access healthcare\, public services\, education and employment support. \nBut access isn’t equal. \n \nFor many communities\, digital exclusion is shaped by affordability\, connectivity\, confidence and wider cost-of-living pressures with real consequences for health outcomes and opportunity. \n \nThis event creates space for an open conversation about digital inclusion\, practical solutions and how systems and communities can work together to reduce digital inequality. \n \nNo assumptions. No blame. Just honest discussion about what works and what still needs to change. \n \nKey questions \n\n\nWhen services become “digital by default”\, who gets left behind? \n\n\nHow do device access\, data poverty and affordability affect health and wellbeing? \n\n\nWhat practical solutions are already working locally? \n\n\nHow do policy and grassroots approaches come together?
