AI & Ambient Voice Technology
Exploring the potential of AI & AVT to transform care and support nursing practice.
Welcome to the Future Nurse Ambient Voice Technology (AVT) Special Interest Group (SIG). Reflecting the rapid growth of AI and AVT across the NHS and wider healthcare industry, this community brings together practitioners at every stage of their AVT journey, from those already piloting and deploying solutions, to those just beginning to explore the possibilities. Our aim is to share knowledge, offer practical guidance, and ensure nursing has a genuine voice in the conversations shaping how AI and ambient voice technology is adopted in healthcare. Co-chaired by Hayley Grafton, CNIO at University Hospitals Leicester, we’d love you to get involved and help shape the AVT agenda.
Upcoming AVT Events
Our next AVT event is the Expert Round Table on 29th April.
