FCI Annual Scientific Conference 2023 - #UKFCI2023
The Faculty of Clinical Informatics proudly presents the highly anticipated FCI Annual Scientific Conference 2023. Join us in person for this two-day Digital Health Conference that will explore the interface of Clinical Informatics with Industry and Academia.
The Annual Scientific Conference will explore a diverse range of enthralling themes centred around the future of clinical informatics. Delve into topics on the role of AI in healthcare, diverse data, uncovering strategies for intelligent clinical decision support, the influencing power of social media in health informatics, career planning and progression for clinical informaticians, and credentialing informaticians across the sector. In addition, our highly anticipated scientific research papers section will return, covering a variety of health care industries across the globe.
This year, the Annual Scientific Conference will merge with the Faculty’s Annual Members’ Conference. The Annual Members’ Conference was a great success in 2022; over 200 delegates joined us to hear about FCI latest news and to network with peers.
Why attend?
Join us at ETC Venues in central Manchester on 29th and 30th November 2023, where knowledge, inspiration, and innovation collide to shape the future of clinical informatics.
This event is CPD-accredited, and there will be 14 Points available.
In 2023, the Annual Scientific Conference will focus on the following themes:

Guest lecture: Tackling Bias and Inequities in Health and Genomic Data
Data and digital technology are now being used in all aspects of research, innovation and healthcare, but how do we ensure that the entire healthcare system benefits from these advanced technologies, specifically so that all people, especially those in underserved populations, receive the same quality of research benefit and care from innovations?
This talk will discuss the intersection of data science, health and equity, illustrated by the inequities rife in genomics (but no need to be a genomics expert to understand the talk!).
Studies of human genetics have largely focused on populations from WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) countries which has resulted in genomic insights that are not generalizable to all populations.
Most studies, trials and papers conclude with a call to action to recruit and use more diverse genomes, and yet the proportion of non-European ancestries in genomic studies is diminishing.
To address this gap, we must work across the whole pipeline of genomic research and health care delivery, from the populations we work with and the data we collect to the analyses we carry out and the availability of genetic testing.
This talk will cover the complex challenges of taking an end-to-end approach to diversifying health and genomic data involves, and what we might do to reduce bias in our data-driven systems in precision medicine - something Maxine and her team are trying to do via the Diverse Data initiative at Genomics England.

Introducing the Bridges to Health Segmentation Dataset
Case Study
Outcomes Based Healthcare have developed the clinically-derived person-level longitudinal Bridges to Health Segmentation Dataset at both National and ICB levels. The dataset consists of over 50 condition registers available across 6+ years nationally. We’ll be presenting what this looks like, how it’s being used, the methods used to combine clinical codes and logic across a number of datasets, and some of the technical aspects of processing large and complex datasets.
Opening Keynote Guest Lecture: Generative AI in Healthcare
As the digital age accelerates, the healthcare sector faces up to challenges bigger than ever before. General AI offers new tools with advanced Artificial Intelligence that go beyond narrow, task-specific applications. This talk delves into the expansive capabilities of General AI and its potential to transform modern healthcare.

Guest lecture: Prediction models for personalised preventative health: Past, present, future.
Prediction models are used to identify individuals who are at risk of poor outcomes and would benefit from preventative treatment.
They are widely used in cardiovascular disease prevention, cancer, mental health, and other domains. However, despite the availability of new methods (machine learning) and ever-expanding datasets, most models that are routinely used in the NHS are many years old, and few of them of have been evaluated for their effects on health outcomes.
We will present a new framework for the development, validation, and deployment of prediction models based on the concept of learning health systems and describe how new methods and technologies can contribute to better-personalised prevention for all.

Improving the efficiency and safety of EPR templates and eForms : a compelling application for computable knowledge libraries ?
GP templates and secondary care eForms are used widely in patient record systems to support more complete data capture and adherence to structured workflows.
However, these useful tools are not always based on the best evidence or well-curated, with potential consequences for patient safety and practitioner workload. We will facilitate a 45’ interactive session during which participants will explore different kinds of templates and eForms, describe how we construct templates, discuss the sources of knowledge embedded in templates and debate whether a centrally-curated computable knowledge library could make this process more efficient and safer.
We will provide the international context of global initiatives such as MCBK to improve the use and curation of computable knowledge to support Learning Health Systems use interactive question-answering tools to poll participants during the session, and share the resulting insights for wider discussion.
Participants in this session will ideally have experience of using GP templates or EPR eForms but need have no expertise in constructing these tools.
Participation will result in a deeper understanding of the benefits and challenges of using and constructing templates and eForms and potential ways to maximise their benefits and overcome the challenges.
