🌟 Today at CHIL we are hosting a Carers event to recognise, hear from, and support carers in our teams. We’re hosting a special panel & interview session with carers, plus: a lively discussion on how digital tools can be used to support carers. @livunichil.bsky.social @m-ricresearch.bsky.social

“We do it because we care – but that doesn’t mean we don’t need support.” 💬 Powerful stories from today’s Carers Day panel at CHIL. Grateful to the carers who shared their journeys – honest, moving, and vital. @livunichil.bsky.social @m-ricresearch.bsky.social

Digital tools won’t replace care – but they can lighten the load. Today’s Carers Event discussion explored real opportunities for smarter, more connected support for carers. Let’s keep the conversation going. 💬 @livunichil.bsky.social @m-ricresearch.bsky.social

We’re excited to launch the charter in early summer—stay tuned! 🚀 If you would like to get involved and stay updated on our work please express your interest here: forms.office.com/e/nQg3Cke7CN

This charter—designed and deliberated by residents—will help shape future local projects, ensuring transparency, fairness, and community benefit. A huge thank you to all the speakers, facilitators, and stakeholders who have contributed to this journey…

🎉 Thank you to all the residents who took part in the LCR Residents' Assembly on Data & AI Innovation! 🎉 Over the last few weeks, we’ve explored: 🔍 How data and AI are used in the Liverpool City Region with a key focus in the first week on learning

📢 Over the last 2 weeks, local residents have shared their thoughts on how data can be used to make better decisions for our local area. Today marks the final session, and we want to say a HUGE thank you! This conversation doesn’t end here - stay tuned… @lpoolcityregion.bsky.social

🌟 Final Day of the LCR Residents' Assembly on Data & AI Innovation! 🌟 Today, we: 📜 Review data charters created yesterday 🔢 Use participatory ranking & ranked-choice voting to decide key principles 🤔 Look at ‘ Which principles will most ensure trustworthy & beneficial data innovation?’

Yesterday our Director @profbuchan.bsky.social attended a #COVID19 day of reflection at St George's Hall to pay his respects and remember all the sacrifices that were made during the pandemic. www.linkedin.com/posts/st-geo...

An honour to pay my respects at Liverpool’s #COVID19 remembrance today in our secular ‘cathedral’ St George’s Hall. An apt reflection of the grit and grace that delivered so much by and for so many in this City’s response to the pandemic. Humbled to serve this true collective heart of #PublicHealth

Yesterday, with @livunichil.bsky.social colleagues, I shared knowledge of using quasi-experiments to answer difficult questions in real-world with 50+ nhs+loc gov analysts. Huge privilege for me and example of mobilising data+skills to build learning health systems, cutting time to innovation

This is what I've been up to for the last couple of days. Really brilliant to spend a couple of days listening to and learning from people about what they want data and AI to do/be used for. A couple of quick reflections

We look forward to coming together again next week to brainstorm, deliberate, and design what residents want to see in an LCR Charter on Data & AI Innovation. Your voices are shaping the future! 💡🤝 If you would like any more info check out our website: civicdatacooperative.com/residents-as.... 2/2

A huge thank you to all the residents who attended Day 2 of the LCR Residents' Assembly on Data & AI Innovation! Your engagement in today’s exploration of AI trade-offs was fantastic. 1/2.
