Meet the Team
The goal of STANDING Together is to co-develop recommendations in partnership with the health data and AI research community, the organisations that fund and govern health data and AI research, industry leaders developing AI innovations, and the community members representing the interests of patients and the public.
This programme is delivered by a project team based at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Birmingham, and informed by an international Working Group and Public Participation Committee.
