SUMMARY:5G in Health and Social Care - Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:In 2020\, UK Healthcare spend accounted for 12.8% of GDP\, £269 billion. The NHS alone employs 1.6 million people\, treating millions of patients and supporting further millions of citizens in need of help and guidance. Significant injections of additional Government funding were required to help adapt service delivery models and meet increased demand for services related to the pandemic. \nAmid Covid-19\, the health and social care sectors have introduced new and innovative ways to operate safely and efficiently—yet new challenges have emerged related to treatment delays\, on-going infection risk and increased demand on services such as mental health and wellbeing. \n5G has the potential to support innovation in these areas and across the sectors as a whole: facilitating more efficient and effective ways of working. Globally\, developed economies share these challenges while emerging economies continuously face extremely challenging conditions and ongoing shortages of skilled workforce\, further enhanced by pandemic fallout. Health and Care service delivery has seen an acceleration towards community services (treatment and management away from hospitals)  meaning increased reliance on data and communication systems both in wireless tech and  wired connectivity formats. \n5G has great potential to replace and enhance such connectivity and much more besides. It may prove to be a key platform to underpin the innovation in  adjacent  technologies and in ‘best practice’\, which will become necessary to build sustainable health\, care (and increasingly wellbeing and preventative) service designs for the future. \nThis series of events will be of interest to anyone involved in contemporary health and care service design or delivery.

SUMMARY:Immerse UK x Imagination Virtual Production Series
DESCRIPTION:Between November 2021 and February 2022\, Immerse UK and Imagination will be joined by industry experts in a series of panel discussions and thought-leadership pieces exploring the impact of virtual production and real time content production\, each from a different perspective. \nJoin the organisers as they explore virtual production through three different lenses\, including; \nThe Future of Content\nThe benefits and impact of using a real time workflow to create content. \nThe Future of Live Experiences\nThe emerging advantages\, and challenges\, of using real time content for live experiences. \nDigital Transformation in real time\nExploring what is required to embrace realtime technologies and workflows into your organisation. \nAbout Virtual Production\nVirtual Production is more accurately described as real time content production; The process by which digital objects and environments are generated in real time using video games engines such as Unreal and Unity. The same technology that immerses you in living\, breathing\, photorealistic gaming worlds\, is now being used by filmmakers\, storytellers\, marketers and even product designers\, opening up limitless creative possibilities. \nAbout the Series\nThis series aims to demystify the technology and dig into the practical applications\, and structural\, business and cultural impact of this incredible new world\, which is and will continue to transform industries in much the same way that cloud computing and the Internet before it. \nHear from industry experts and thought leaders at the forefront of Virtual Production\, as they guide you through the latest techniques and possibilities in this exciting new space.

SUMMARY:UKAuthority AI & Bots4Good 2021
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence and automation are moving to the fore in public service delivery\n\n\nAre automation and artificial intelligence core to the future of our health and public sector?\nDuring the pandemic automation\, or Robotic Process Automation (RPA)\, was deployed by many across local government and the NHS to automate the tsunami of new tasks related to covid testing and vaccinations. It’s reliability and efficiency has played a starring role and has much to bring to the sector as we move forward.  \nMeanwhile from intelligent automation to machine learning and artificial intelligence we are exploring new ways to visualise and use data to gain insight into the impacts of action – or inaction – on our world. \nWith the power to free time\, release scarce resources and supercharge innovation\, the question is\, should these be specialist skills or embedded as foundational tools for the future of public services?  \nThis event is free to attend for the public sector and accredited for five hours CPD. \nPlease register using your public sector email. Please note that registrations from personal email addresses may be rejected. \nSpeakers and agenda\nThe agenda for this event will be finalised shortly. Contact Helen Olsen Bedford if you are interested in speaker or sponsorship opportunities: helen@ukauthority.co.uk \nFor a flavour of this virtual event visit last year’s AI & Bots4Good 2020 \nWho should attend?\nAll those involved in developing or implementing RPA\, intelligent automation and artificial intelligence to help improve outcomes for our citizens and patients\, including\, but not limited to\, NHS\, Local Authority and Central Government Chief Information Officers\, Chief Digital / Data Officers\, Data Scientists / Analysts\, Heads of and Seniors of IT and Automation\, Assistant and Chief Executives\, Members\, Heads of and leaders in Customer Services\, Social Services\, Environmental Services\, Transformation or Change. \nRegistration\nUKAuthority has full editorial control of this event thanks to support from our partners. By registering for this event you agree to the sharing of your name\, organisation\, job title and work email address with the UKAuthority editorial team and partner organisations hosting this event.

SUMMARY:Ask the engineers: Post-COP26 - what have we achieved and where do we go from here?
DESCRIPTION:PUBLIC EVENT\nIt is hard to under-estimate the importance of COP26 for reaching global agreement on decarbonisation pathways and financing packages that match the urgency and scale of the climate crisis. In the wake of COP26\, our final Ask the Engineers panel will review what has been achieved at the summit and whether it has helped to accelerate progress towards a just transition to net zero emissions by 2050. \nThe engineering profession can offer solutions\, but must work ambitiously and collaboratively to drive change. Our crucial offering to this monumental challenge relies on engineers being engaged alongside policy makers\, economists and the public. \nHas COP26 set the UK on a decisive pathway to net zero? \nSpeakers\n\nChairperson: Alok Jha\, Science and Technology Correspondent\, The Economist\nProfessor Nilay Shah OBE FREng\, Head of Department of Chemical Engineering\, Imperial College London\nDame Joanna da Silva DBE FREng\, Director of International Development\, Arup\nSinead Obeng\, Chair\, Energy Institute Young Professionals Council and Regulatory Affairs Adviser\, Gazprom Marketing and Trading\nRachel Skinner FREng\, President\, Institution of Civil Engineers and Executive Producer\, WSP UK\n\nSupported by:\nArup as the technology partner of the Ask the engineers series. \nTickets\nThis event is free of charge but registration is required. After registering\, you will receive an email that contains further details on joining the online event. If you have any questions\, please contact Amy Stratton\, Events Manager at the Royal Academy of Engineering. \nEngineering Zero\nThis event series is part of the Academy’s campaign Engineering Zero\, which aims to bring the engineering profession together to advance engineering’s contribution to net zero\, working in partnership with the National Engineering Policy Centre and our global networks. More information about the campaign can be found here. \nRecording notice\nPlease note this event will be recorded and published on the Royal Academy of Engineering website. \nAccessibility\nIt is very important to the Royal Academy of Engineering that our events are accessible to all.
