Excited to go live with this. @WeAreDrDoctor now works with all the organisations from Bristol to central London along the M4 corridor. Loads more to do! #futureofoutpatients.
Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has partnered with DrDoctor to provide an online portal for outpatients, reducing the need for paper appointment letters. Full story 👉

Thanks @ruskin147 - A.I. can have a real impact on patient and clinicians lives, but it’s important we’re pragmatic and realistic about where and how. Utilised well, it can help solve some of the structural capacity problems in the NHS.
New project - the first in what I hope will be a series of interviews exploring AI in the NHS. At the moment, I feel there's more hype than actual clinical implementation but @twhicher of @WeAreDrDoctor tells me there's lots of "less sexy" stuff going on.

For every £1 on tech you need to spend £1 on culture, delivery and service design @HealthPartNet #HPN.
Kicking off HPN North in sunny Manchester with a cross service - police, providers and system - panel on using AI to improve population health. Computers more reliable than Judges to make objective decisions about citizens.

Looking forward to being part of this panel alongside @ZFragkiadaki and @murrayellender later at #HCSummit23. In light of another record-breaking month for the NHS backlog, there's a real need to look at remote-first as a way to cut down waiting lists. Come listen!

#AI has the potential to relieve the pressure on NHS workers and help reduce the backlog. How? Our AI prediction model identifies patterns and behaviours, helping admin teams focus on patients who are facing obstacles to care and reduce DNAs.

A big change in how we tackle DNAs is needed. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is part of the solution to unlocking high-volume, personalised care in the NHS.
