Context sovereignty – CSP conference
Earlier today I gave the Founder’s Lecture at the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists conference in Newport. I’ve been working on the idea of ‘context sovereignty’ as a way to think differently about our relationship with AI, framing it in positive terms rather than viewing it as a threat to professional identity.

AI and the business of practice – Lincolnshire Practice Management Conference
Rather than viewing AI as either technological salvation or existential threat, practice managers need frameworks for thoughtful integration of this technology into practice contexts. This means starting with administrative tasks, building staff confidence through demonstration, and maintaining clear ethical boundaries. The goal isn’t wholesale transformation but strategic enhancement of existing workflows.

Stop taking notes on your phone
I can’t believe how many people I’ve seen taking notes on their phones at this conference. Surely they must realise how inefficient this is? Laptops are better. Tablets with a keyboard also work. Or seriously, use a notepad and pen.

Surprised at how little we’re talking about AI in #meded
I’ve been surprised at how little we’re talking about AI at the conference. I know that I can get sucked into a bubble, where all of my attention is taken up by what’s coming through my feed. But, even taking this into consideration, I’d expected a lot more conversation around AI at AMEE. When it…
