Proud to see Sam, King's Cardiology Appt Coordinator, speak at @shelfordgroup.bsky.social Annual Event with Prof Clive Kay, our CEO. Graduate of #DFNProjectSearch, Sam shared how the internship had a life-changing impact on him, and others with #LearningDisabilities and/or autism seeking careers.

Loved speaking on electronic health records, including on critical need to focus on adoption, that digitisation in itself does not guarantee transformation and the implications of hardwiring EHRs into so much of what we do. Great debate.

Great to see the recent collaborative innovation event held between Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, the Association of British HealthTech Industries and @shelfordgroup.bsky.social showcased in this key impact report.

Pleased to be invited @shelfordgroup.bsky.social as external guest from @gstt-nhs.bsky.social @gerisoc.bsky.social @cpoc.bsky.social & looking forward to participating in panel discussion focussing on #sdm in routine clinical care for people living with complexity
