Clinical Coding and AI National Networking Forum
Thu 10 Dec 2026 09:00-16:10
Online Forum, 5 CPD Hours

Do you want to know where to start with AI and automation in clinical coding - and what implementation realistically involves?

This national networking forum will bring clinical coders together from across the NHS to benchmark your understanding and discover how other services are putting AI and automation into practice. This unique day will equip you with a clearer understanding of what is achievable, where your team could begin and the practical next steps to take.

Through real-life case studies, expert presentations and interactive discussions, this is an excellent opportunity to explore the use of rules-based automation, generative AI and AI-assisted coding workflows, and identify what successful implementation requires. Hear how coder oversight, clinician validation and better EPR documentation can improve coding accuracy, data quality and productivity while supporting future AI.

Prepare your service

AI and automation in clinical coding: what implementation really involves

Through practical case studies, you will explore the decisions, resources and collaboration needed to move from interest to implementation. Key learning outcomes include:

  • Identifying where your service could start and which coding processes may be suitable for automation
  • Understanding how rules-based automation, generative AI and AI-assisted coding workflows are being developed and used
  • Exploring the costs, timescales and input required from coding, BI and digital teams
  • Building coder involvement and human oversight into AI and automation from the outset
  • Strengthening clinician engagement and validation to improve documentation, coding accuracy and data quality
  • Designing EPR documentation that supports coding productivity and future AI
  • Sharing approaches to maintaining coding quality and capacity under pressure  

Network and share experience

Learn how other clinical coding services are approaching AI and automation

Step away from your day-to-day pressures to compare experiences, discuss shared challenges and connect with clinical coding colleagues from across the NHS. By attending, you will:

  • Compare how other services are approaching AI and automation and deciding where to start 
  • Discuss pressures around workloads, backlogs, deadlines and maintaining coding quality 
  • Share experiences of working with clinicians, BI and digital colleagues to support change 
  • Build useful connections and identify practical next steps for your own service
