I’m really delighted to be up in Manchester for the Pioneering AI in Multiple Long Term Conditions: Bridging Research and Practice #PioneerAIM conference!
Prof Aziz Sheikh - who leads the sustainability theme of the AI for Multiple Long Term Conditions Research Support Facility #AIMRSF - has welcomed everyone to the event.
We have data scientists, clinicians, health policy researchers, and people who are experts by lived experience here to share their experiences, successes & lessons learned.
You can follow along with information about the speakers and research teams through our conference booklet - available online via #Zenodo:

“The #AIM programme is ahead of other areas in #HealthDataScience in thinking about the benefits of #interdisciplinary collaboration to solve real world problems.”
“Early career researchers #ECRs are our leaders of tomorrow. We must invest in their success by providing career pathways for research in multiple long term conditions #MLTC”
A fantastic interview of Professor Lucy Chappell, Chief Scientific Adviser to the Department of Health & Social Care #DHSX & CEO of #NIHR.
Next up is Mon Fletcher who is introducing our session on Celebrating and recognising excellence in patient and public engagement and involvement #PPIE
She’s sharing collages of photos from just a few of our amazing contributors who are #ExpertsByLivedExperience.
“Research sometimes sits on dusty shelves and is too far away from the people who would actually benefit from the work.”
Mon played this beautiful video from the #DECODE project: Develop and Enhance the Care coordination for people with intellectual disabilities and multiple long term Conditions (DECODE).

A hugely moving set of interviews with people who are #ExpertsByLivedExperience and living with #MLTC describing how welcome they felt and how they have made such a positive difference to the research project.
Next up we get to hear from one of the #ExpertsByLivedExperience - Alix - and two researchers - Amy Wilkins and Lizzie Renfy. Another expert by lived experience - John - has sent comments that Mon read out because his mobility conditions have flared up so he’s unable to attend in person.
He’s here online though. Making sure we are allowing EVERYONE to join a conference featuring people who are more vulnerable than others is a huge priority to me and the #AIMRSF team.
The #AIM #PPIE teams have worked very creatively to describe artificial intelligence #AI to people who don’t work in the field. There’s a lot of jargon and descriptions can be very abstract and inaccessible.
There is no meaningful consultation if the #ExpertsByLivedExperience don’t understand what you’re asking!
