Ambient Voice Technology in Nursing: Expert Roundtable Event
Building on our webinar series, Future Nurse continued the conversation through a dedicated, invite-only event that explored the role of ambient voice technology (AVT) in nursing practice.
This event brought together clinical leaders, researchers, policy voices, system partners, and local innovators for a combination of plenary sessions and facilitated roundtable discussions. Together, we examined the opportunities, risks, and real-world implications of AVT across care settings.
To enable open and candid dialogue, roundtable discussions and plenary contributions operated under the Chatham House Rule. Insights gathered are now being synthesised and anonymised, contributing to a forthcoming Future Nurse white paper aimed at informing policy, practice, and future research.
This work forms part of our wider “think and do tank” programme. While participation was by invitation, we are sharing key themes and emerging insights through published outputs and ongoing engagement opportunities.
Co-producing a white paper that drives change.
We are working in partnership with the University of Salford to produce a white paper that captures the insights from this event and turns them into practical recommendations to inform policy and practice.
