Help shape the future of medicine through safe, ethical and equitable digital innovation.
Digital technologies, data and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming healthcare, creating opportunities to improve clinical practice, patient outcomes and healthcare delivery. Realising these opportunities requires strong clinical leadership, robust evidence and a commitment to safety, ethics, equity and public trust.
The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) is inviting expressions of interest from Members and Fellows to join its new AI and Digital Strategy Committee.
Who are we looking for?
We are seeking a diverse, multidisciplinary group of colleagues who can bring different perspectives, expertise and experience to help shape the College's strategic direction.
We welcome expertise in areas including:
Digital health, clinical informatics and technology innovation.
AI, machine learning and emerging technologies.
Health data, analytics and information governance.
Clinical safety, regulation and digital governance.
Ethics, responsible innovation and public trust.
Global health equity, inclusion and addressing bias in digital technologies.
Research, evaluation, implementation and workforce education.
You do not need expertise across all these areas. We particularly welcome applications from colleagues at different career stages, medical specialties, geographical locations and professional backgrounds.
You must be a Member or Fellow in good standing.
What will the Committee do?
The Committee will provide strategic leadership and expert advice to RCPE, developing its voice and influence on digital health and AI. Priorities will include promoting safe and equitable adoption, informing policy and professional guidance, building physician capability and skills, and supporting evidence-based innovation that delivers meaningful improvements for patients and communities.
Commitment
The Committee plans to meet four to five times per year, commencing in February 2027.
Expressions of interest
If you are interested in joining the Committee, please provide a short statement outlining your professional background, relevant expertise, and what you would bring to the Committee.
