Generative AI in Healthcare: A Practical Guide

This interactive course explores how Generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT) can support a wide range of healthcare professionals, including AHPs and members of multidisciplinary teams. We focus on how AI can enhance day-to-day practice, reduce administrative burden, support reflective learning, and promote innovation, while preserving the core values of person-centred, ethical care.

Whether you’re curious about AI or already experimenting with it in your practice, this course offers an easy-to-follow, structured approach. During this course, we cover using AI safely, ethically and effectively in both clinical and professional contexts.

What do we mean by generative AI?

Generative AI represents a new generation of artificial intelligence systems that can create original content in response to your prompts. Unlike traditional AI tools that simply analyse or categorise information (like spell-checkers or diagnostic systems), Generative AI can produce new materials, ideas, and text based on its training. This means having an intelligent assistant that can help create healthcare resources, suggest treatment approaches, and support clinical reasoning, all guided by your professional expertise and judgment. These tools represent an opportunity to enhance both clinical effectiveness and efficiency, freeing up more time for direct client care.

This course will help you:

• Understand a range of AI tools relevant to healthcare practice, and learn how they can support clinical decision-making
• Learn practical strategies for using AI to enhance care planning and resource creation while maintaining therapeutic quality
• Discover time-saving techniques for documentation, report writing, and administrative tasks
• Explore ways to use AI tools for continuing professional development (CPD), reflective practice and keeping up with the evidence-base
• Navigate ethical considerations and best practices for incorporating AI in client-centred care
