Policy Connect and the All-Party Parliamentary Health Group (APHG) are hosting a parliamentary evidence session on AI and Healthcare.
The session will bring together academics, healthcare professionals, policymakers, industry representatives, and other stakeholders to explore the regulatory challenges and opportunities surrounding AI innovation and adoption in healthcare.
The discussion forms part of a wider research project delivered in partnership with the Policy Impact Unit at University College London (UCL) and this event will also contribute to the UCL bicentenary celebrations. This initial session will explore how regulation can support both accelerated innovation of AI-enabled tools and adoption to ensure they are deployed safely at scale.. Panellists will also consider liability, human oversight, equity and trust, drawing on recommendations from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency’s (MHRA) National Commission on the Regulation of AI in Healthcare.
Chaired by Dr Simon Opher MP, confirmed panellists include:
- Professor Laurence Lovat, Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology) and Biophotonics, UCL Department of Targeted Intervention (Faculty of Medical Sciences), and Lead of Air Safety Project.
- Professor Derek Hill, Professor of Digital Health, UCL Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering.
- MiRa Jacobs, Head of Digital Health, MHRA.
- Dr Rosalind Adam, Academic GP; Senior Clinical Lecturer in Primary Care, University of Aberdeen.
- Dika Vilic, Head of Clinical Scientific Computing, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Trust
The Policy Impact Unit works closely with UCL Engineering researchers to help increase the use of research-based evidence by policymakers. We thank Anca Tacu, Farah Arikat, and Chelsea Dickson for their contributions to this partnership.
