The sun is shining and DHI colleagues are hosting our staff quarterly meeting in Edinburgh at @cosla.gov.uk.

Lots of fanatic updates and opportunities to learn.

Today’s focus is #AI.

Great to re-connect, in-person, with colleagues we normally only see on MicrosoftTeams calls!

A man (identified as Chaloner Chute, Chief Technology Officer, Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre) is giving a presentation in the COSLA conference room in Edinburgh to DHI colleagues at their September staff quarterly meeting.

He stands at a wooden podium with a laptop, gesturing with his hand. Behind him, a large screen displays a slide titled "Project Example: Dynamic-Scot." The slide includes text about NHS projects related to remote care and early supported discharge, with statistics and partner logos at the bottom including NHS Scotland, ResMed, Storm ID and the University of Glasgow.
