The Frontline AI Community of Practice

This is the place where NHS staff talk to each other about using AI at work. uPull.ai's mission is to grow a community where people who want to try new things — we call them "intrapreneurs" — can get help and support to bring safe, useful AI into the NHS. Share what's worked, ask what hasn't, and learn from people doing the same job as you.

Led by uPull.ai Intrapreneurs. We bring down systemic silos, facilitating real interaction across the health and care sector to master the new way of working using AI.
