    How do we ensure ethical and authentic use of AI in healthcare comms?

    Trust? Authenticity? Inclusivity? These are just some of the topics healthcare communications agency Cuttsy+Cuttsy have been exploring as they adopt an ethical approach to gen-AI within their business. But the field is rapidly changing and this is something we all need to get right, fast. At this webinar, representatives from Cuttsy+Cuttsy, Joe Hance, Jon Hume and Philippa Pristera, will share and discuss practicalities from their own ethical framework, and then open up to questions and comments from the audience for a pragmatic and open conversation - how do we ensure authentic use of AI within the industry? What approaches work best? How do we keep up? And we answer questions from the audience.

    Working effectively in healthcare communications: Turning stress into a force for good

    It's a proven fact that the perfect blend of pressure and stress improves performance; helping individuals, teams and organisations work faster, think sharper, grow through challenge, and unlock their potential. During this session, Paul Hutchings (fox&cat) and Catherine Keddie (CK Coaching and Consulting) cover:

    * the latest insights and data around how stress is affecting the communications industry
    * the different types of stress (from the types that help us grow, to the types that have negative consequences, if left unchecked)
    * how to identify which type of stress you are experiencing
    * some options on what you can do to manage stress appropriately

    They also talk to us about an exciting new approach to helping agencies and their people manage the pressure and stress that come with working in communications in a more healthy and manageable way.

    Together, we can create an industry where the natural levels of pressure and stress that come with the role are used as a force for good, rather than us feeling crushed by it. And we answer questions from the audience.

    Achieving true globally aligned sci comms - can tech really help de-silo the pharma industry?

    In this webinar we are joined by Daniel Gibbs (co-Founder, 9LABS), Justin Erswell (Head of Product, 9LABS) and Eve Guichard, CMPP (Chief Scientific Officer, LiNK Health Group), to reflect on the importance of globally aligned and integrated scientific communications, and some of the traditional challenges to achieving this. We explore how, through the evolving nature of medcomms, innovation and tech can facilitate the 'de-siloing' of pharma, and lead to better aligned and effective integrated communications. We explore tangible and existing ways in which the industry is already using innovation, including AI, to meet these aims - starting with the backbone of strategic scientific communications, the Scientific Communications Platform (SCP). And we answer questions from the audience.

This discussion is about the daily practicalities and questions that are arising around managing specialist content in the face of rapidly developing uptake of AI tools.
