WHO WE ARE: 

Akrivia Health are global leaders in the application of real-world data & evidence for mental health and dementias, providing valuable insights for research. We have privileged access to one of the largest and richest repositories of psychiatric electronic health record data in the world. We curate this database on behalf of a network of NHS mental healthcare organisations, providing a free secure data service to support research and care improvement in the NHS. With support from our NHS partners, we further anonymise this database for access by third parties, including academia, industry, charities and government organisations. This activity provides a source of sustainable revenue to support our NHS service offer, and brings the immense potential of EHR data to the global mental health and dementia research community. 

 

As part of our data curation service, we apply a bespoke AI-based natural language processing pipeline to structure the wealth of research-relevant data (on medications, diagnoses, symptoms, life events, social stressors, functional outcomes etc) held in free text EHR fields (e.g., clinical notes, referral letters). This creates a uniquely rich representation of patient care and condition states – one which captures the full heterogeneity and bio-psycho-social complexity of mental illness and dementia. With the unique breadth and depth of our real-world data asset, we enable our clients and collaborators to accelerate clinical trials and to identify, develop and deliver effective new drugs, devices and services to patients and caregivers. We are beginning to enrich our clinical data with biosamples through GlobalMinds - our Precision Neuroscience initiative which aims to improve understanding of the biological basis of mental health disorders and dementia to 

alleviate the burden in one of the world’s most pressing unmet medical needs. Akrivia Health is committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender, pregnancy, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, disability, medical history, skin colour, marital status, genetic information or parental status.

Contract vs Permanent AI Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

n the ever-evolving world of technology, the competition for top talent in artificial intelligence (AI) is intense—and the rewards are significant. By 2025, AI roles in machine learning, natural language processing, data science, and robotics are expected to be among the highest-paid professions within the UK technology sector. As an AI professional, deciding between contracting (either as a day‑rate contractor or via fixed-term contracts) and permanent employment could drastically impact your take‑home pay, job security, and career trajectory. In this article, we will delve into the various types of AI roles in 2025—particularly focusing on day‑rate contracting, fixed-term contract (FTC) roles, and permanent positions. We will compare the earning potential across these three employment types, discuss the key pros and cons, and provide practical examples of how your annual take‑home pay might differ under each scenario. Whether you are already working in AI or looking to break into this booming field, understanding these employment options will help you make an informed decision on your next move.

AI Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Your Seat at the AI Table Artificial Intelligence (AI) has left the lab and entered boardrooms, high‑street banks, hospitals and marketing agencies across the United Kingdom. Yet a stubborn myth lingers: “AI careers are only for coders and PhDs.” If you can’t write TensorFlow, surely you have no place in the conversation—right? Wrong. According to PwC’s UK AI Jobs Barometer 2024, vacancies mentioning AI rose 61 % year‑on‑year, but only 35 % of those adverts required advanced programming skills (pwc.co.uk). The Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) likewise reports that Britain’s fastest‑growing AI employers are “actively recruiting non‑technical talent to scale responsibly” (gov.uk). Put simply, the nation needs communicators, strategists, ethicists, marketers and project leaders every bit as urgently as it needs machine‑learning engineers. This 2,500‑word guide shows where you fit in—and how to land an AI role without touching a line of Python.
