Dr Clenton Farquharson CBE, Associate Director at TLAP, is speaking at the 26th International Conference on Integrated Care #ICIC26 next week.
Clenton will join other leaders with lived experience, researchers, and practitioners to share learning and help shape the future of integrated care.
There's more to come as this conversation continues. We're keen to stay part of it and keep asking the questions that matter.
We had a great day at the AI and Social Care Summit, co-hosted by the Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford and the Alliance for AI in Social Care.
Lots of inspiring and urgent discussions were had as we explored the different ways AI is being harnessed for good across the globe.
Congratulations Isaac! 💜
