He was absolutely fantastic, such a great session!

Proud to see Sam, King's Cardiology Appt Coordinator, speak at @shelfordgroup.bsky.social Annual Event with Prof Clive Kay, our CEO.

Graduate of #DFNProjectSearch, Sam shared how the internship had a life-changing impact on him, and others with #LearningDisabilities and/or autism seeking careers.

Great to speak at this on how the public and NHS staff feel about AI in health, the need for a dedicated national strategy, and to put responsibility at the core — AI must work for all people, society and the planet.

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to our #Shelford2025 event today - we’re looking forward to using feedback from the day to help set our future Shelford priorities 💙

Our impact report for 2025/5 is now available online at shelfordgroup.org/our-impact-i...

Loved speaking on electronic health records, including on critical need to focus on adoption, that digitisation in itself does not guarantee transformation and the implications of hardwiring EHRs into so much of what we do. Great debate.

How can Shelford Trusts help patients get quality end of life care? Shelford Chair Kirsten Major, @kamranabbasi.bsky.social, Louise Ansari of @healthwatchengland.bsky.social, @jkdhesi.bsky.social & @david-haslam.bsky.social discuss the types of evidence we can use to support care #Shelford2025

Brilliant discussion with colleagues from @ouhospitals.bsky.social @cuhnhs.bsky.social @microsoft.com and @lukeoshea.bsky.social and @nellthornton.bsky.social about the role of AI in delivering improved healthcare, including the trade-offs we need to discuss with the public #Shelford2025

Great to hear colleagues from @uhbtrust.bsky.social @imperialnhs.bsky.social @mftnhs.bsky.social Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, as well @thekingsfund.bsky.social, discussing the role Shelford members are already playing in supporting prevention of disease #Shelford2025

Great to see the recent collaborative innovation event held between Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, the Association of British HealthTech Industries and @shelfordgroup.bsky.social showcased in this key impact report.

Fascinating discussion with Andy Haldane, Royal Society of Arts CEO and former Chief Economist at the Bank of England, about the link between health and wealth, the challenges that lie ahead for government and the NHS, and the need to incentivise businesses to support employee health #Shelford2025

Pleased to be invited @shelfordgroup.bsky.social as external guest from @gstt-nhs.bsky.social @gerisoc.bsky.social @cpoc.bsky.social & looking forward to participating in panel discussion focussing on #sdm in routine clinical care for people living with complexity

Fantastic to hear today from cardiology appointment co-ordinator Sam Camenzuli-Woods, a graduate of Project Search at @kingscollegenhs.bsky.social He says the workplace internship scheme supporting young people with learning disabilities has “changed his life” 💙 #Shelford2025
