Generative AI offers huge potential for the NHS to work more efficiently but it is often difficult for organisations to take the first step. While much has been said about some of the clinical applications of AI – such as in interpreting scans - there are many more routine tasks where it could be used to improve efficiency and reduce the impact of staff shortages.
This HSJ webinar, in association with Microsoft, looks at how AI can be adopted in the NHS and where it is already making a difference.
It will ask:
- What are the potential benefits for the NHS in thoughtful adoption of AI – and what is holding them back from adopting it?
- Which of a hospital’s functions are the best places to start for NHS organisations looking to adopt AI? Are these clinical or non-clinical – or a mixture of both?
- What are the lessons from how generative AI has been used in NHS organisations which were early adopters?
- How can organisations stay up-to-date in this rapidly developing field to ensure they maximise the benefits of AI for staff and patients?
