Spend a day with us in thought-provoking discussions on AI usage in teaching and learning of English for healthcare. Join us on 26th April, between 8:00 – 16:15 (UK time), for the virtual symposium, where we´ll dedicate an entire day to discussions on the current and future role of AI in clinical communication and medical education from multiple perspectives.
The speakers will provide you with fascinating insights into this technology. They will present a theoretical background and a review of the latest research as well as share their experience and tips on using AI in teaching and materials design. The topics include:
We’ll end the event with a panel session, where the speakers will discuss their perspectives on the future role of AI in language and medical education and related fields.

This plenary session explores the novel role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in improving communication skills among healthcare professionals. Emphasising the critical importance of empathy in patient interactions, the session highlights how AI patient simulations can provide realistic practice scenarios.
Virginia Allum, Neil Harris, Chris Jacobs, Beata Walesiak, Petra Zrníková
Moderator: Chris Moore
Alexandra Csongor, Aniko Berta, Csilla Egyed, Renata Nagy
The presentation aims to provide educators with practical strategies for effectively teaching history-taking in English to non-native medical students, integrating AI tools and simulated patient encounters to enhance learning outcomes and prepare students for real-world clinical practice.
Marwa Alnajjar, Shooq Altamimi, Paula Canales
This presentation focuses on a five-phase project that utilised Generative AI (GenAI) to create tailored ESP listening materials. Addressing the limitations of current resources, three lecturers leveraged ChatGPT and text-to-audio generators to create listening scripts, questions, and audio for an English for Nursing module.
Virginia Allum
Initially, Virginia viewed AI as a time saver, allowing her to make videos quicker than ever before. But soon she learned that AI was not an ‘out of the box’ tool. In this talk, Virginia will show you an example of an AI-generated video and compare it with the video she wanted to make.
Ioana Cretu, Neil Harris
By giving examples from their practice with OET candidates, Ioana and Neil aim to encourage both teachers and learners to benefit from using AI tools rather than condemning and avoiding it when enhancing writing competence.
Veronika Glogarová
The research explores the perspectives of PhD medical students on using AI tools in their academic work. During her talk Veronika will discuss the issues around ensuring academic integrity, (non)understanding the overall context and insufficient training provided to educators and students.
Petra Zrníková
This literature review discusses the current and future role of AI in clinical medicine, mainly in early diagnosis, data analysis, and personalised treatment, and points out the most common ethical and legal issues.
Irena Aleksić-Hajduković, Ana Mužar
This research-based session will offer practical suggestions for incorporating GenAI and DDL for designing activities and lesson plans aimed at enhancing teaching of medical and academic collocations.
Beata Walesiak
The talk will explore the current role of apps and AI-based tools in enhancing learners’ communication skills and examine how some tools can support educators in creating targeted classroom materials as well as encouraging self-directed learning. Finally, it will round off by suggesting future directions for integrating AI tools into healthcare-related English language training.
