Dr Guido Giunti sets the challenge - 'we have to upskill ourselves as healthcare professionals, as patients, as citizens - if we don't, we are going to be left behind and left out of decision making - we need to create shared spaces for this upskilling!'. @IPPOSI #AIinHealthcare

[Laura @lcckav]

Prof Susa Benseler asks us to "think about AI as a tool to increase health equity. Not everyone lives in a city. Not everyone can afford to attend care. AI provides opportunities to enhance the patient voice" - what an important, thoughtful mindset shift! @IPPOSI #AIinHealthcare

[Laura @lcckav]

Dr Conor Judge underlines clearly, and simply - the patient and the evidence need to be at the center, as we design and deploy AI. Here in @IPPOSI, these are our north stars! #AIinHealthcare

[Laura @lcckav]

Lovely to see co-design becoming commonplace, Deirdre Hyland from HIQA sharing plans for developing national guidance on the safe and ethical use of AI in healthcare #AIinHealthcare @ipposi @HIQA @HSELive

[Laura @lcckav]

Kicking off our member event today, Tom Laffan HSE Chief Data and Analytics Officer: "If we don't have quality data underpinning our AI solutions in healthcare, we will not be able to optimize its use" @ipposi #AIinHealthcare

@cancertrials_ie @EibhlinMulroe A lovely montage - looks like a busy ten years 🤣 @EibhlinMulroe

Have you had a cancer diagnosis? Do you know how to access your medical records? 🏥📄

A fellow patient created a short, anonymous survey to understand the challenges. Your feedback can help improve access for all.

So interesting (and an honor) to be able to follow this process from behind the scenes - amazing to watch people get to grips with the ins and outs of a tricky topic - not all the answers, but lots of food for thought, and the door open for public participation in the future!

[IPPOSI @IPPOSI]

The verdict is in! Read the #IPPOSICitizens' Jury report on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Healthcare- 25 recommendations calling for regulation, public interest champions, ongoing engagement, and more. Well done jurors! #citizensjury #AIinhealth https://t.co/OaEvHIhIQB

[IPPOSI @IPPOSI]

IPPOSI is delighted to be playing a role as part of this genomics initiative, which involves the Irish public to shape future genomic research. Led by @RCSI_Irl and supported by @roinnslainte and @hrbireland. The Genome of Ireland forms part of a wider public investment by the EU

The use of AI in healthcare, sometimes feels far off, but also feels like something we should try to get right from the start! Public and patient perspectives on this topic are so important @22Q11_Ireland @JoanJoh47880756 @Stephenteap @walls2 @POSheaIHF @FndIreland @IrishPatients

[IPPOSI @IPPOSI]

Are you a patient, advocate, person living with a rare or common/chronic condition? Do you want to influence policy for the use of AI in healthcare? To compliment the work of our Citizens' Jury on AI, we have opened a short survey. Please share your thoughts & ideas before 2 Dec 2024. https://t.co/K3QCfPoAjV

[Laura @lcckav]

We have started the dialogue - six public and patient partners & six Regional Executive Officers and representatives! Let's continue to grow these types of conversations at all levels of our HSE, with many and diverse voices! #hseppp #BetterTogether

[Laura @lcckav]

"I want to see partnership between senior management and front line staff and patient partners - together we can do it" @walls2, patient advocate.

"Our room is all the richer for John being there" - Sandra Broderick, REO Mid-West

#hseppp

[Laura @lcckav]

"It will work, IF we do it together!" Anne Lawlor, @22Q11_Ireland Regional Executive Officers and patient and service user partners must come together, and carve out a path together, and work in partnership together! #hseppp

[Laura @lcckav]

By meeting and chatting with other patient and service user partners (like through the national patient and service user forum), we can collectively shape how we move forward with partnership. Interested in the forum, email [email protected] #hseppp

[Laura @lcckav]

The journey to change has to involve the people in the service, and the people who are delivering the service, and importantly, the families of the people who are in the service. Dermot Monaghan, CHO area 1 #hseppp

[Laura @lcckav]

As patient and public partners we stand with the many dedicated health and social care staff working within our system. We are here to partner and to build a better health future for all of us, not least by forging a new way of communicating with each other #hseppp
