With the right resourcing, AI has the potential to be implemented at scale in NHS chest diagnostics. We've summarised findings from the #RSET evaluation of the AI Diagnostics Fund. Explore the infographic in full: buff.ly/wvohcAp Read the report: buff.ly/MPkSorm
Delighted to share the findings from our rapid evaluation as part of the @nihr.bsky.social Rapid Service Evaluation Team programme - providing lessons implementation and impact of AI tools to support chest diagnostics in NHS hospital services.
NEW Q&A: What do we know about how AI is being used to support clinical decision-making in the NHS? We sat down with @angusramsay.bsky.social, Chris Sherlaw-Johnson and Kevin Herbert to learn about their team’s evaluation of how AI is being applied to chest diagnostics through an NHS pilot scheme.
Sunrise in Aberdeen: following (another) hearty breakfast, I am looking forward to discussing the emerging findings from @nihr.bsky.social study, PHOTONIC, with delegates at #UKSF25.
What can the public sector learn from #NHS experiences of implementing #AI at scale? See article by @angusramsay.bsky.social and me in @publicsectorfocus.bsky.social ⬇️ @uclnews.bsky.social @uclpophealthsci.bsky.social flickread.com/edition/html...
