Following a host of successful events in 2023, Firestarters is back for the final event of the year. The event will explore the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a force for social good within the NHS and the wider healthcare industry. Firestarters is proud to be bringing together some of the brightest minds to facilitate our most controversial question yet…can AI save the NHS?
In true Firestarters style, we’ll be bringing together the city region’s healthcare professionals and a diverse audience from various sectors to explore the question.
