AI in healthcare: Practical skills for the modern workplace
This webinar demystifies artificial intelligence for healthcare professionals who may feel overwhelmed or uncertain about AI's role in clinical practice. Moving beyond tech jargon and hype, we'll explore what AI actually is, how it works in healthcare contexts, and most importantly, how to use it safely and ethically in your daily practice.
Participants will learn practical applications for documentation, care planning, and clinical research synthesis, while addressing critical concerns about patient privacy, data security, and maintaining professional judgment. Through real-world examples from a physical therapy context, attendees will discover how AI can become a valuable thinking partner and help them reclaim time for patient care without compromising quality or ethics. The session incorporates recent ethical guidance from professional organisations to ensure responsible AI implementation.
