Healthcare teams responsible for paediatric care in Ireland are to save significant time in accessing important diagnostic imaging and reports, with the help of a new agreement with medical imaging and cybersecurity company Sectra.

The Highland Marketing advisory board met to consider the government's enthusiasm for AI. To date, healthcare has mostly experimented with decision support tools, and their impact on the NHS and UK plc has been mixed. But the big, new idea is generative AI; and members felt some careful thought is needed about how and where to adopt it.

Ask Google's Gemini assistant how many articles have been published on AI in the UK over the past year, and the response is that the data is "too vast and dispersed" to say, but "it's a very active area of discussion."

Digitised clinical noting at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is creating efficiencies for busy doctors and nurses. The trust’s CCIO Dr Andrew Adair, deputy CCIO Dr John Greenaway, and digital business change manager Niki Idle explain the impact so far and why this crucial component of digital transformation, delivered in partnership with Alcidion, lays the foundations for AI and smart technology.
