Backed by multi-million pound national investments, automation and AI hold significant potential in supporting the NHS in its recovery by facilitating improvements in care, diagnosing conditions more quickly, and enhancing NHS productivity. As highlighted in the recent Darzi report, the effective integration of these technologies is essential for addressing the current challenges faced by the health service . However, engaging with the public and the NHS workforce to fully address the quality and ethical concerns of these technologies remains a challenge.
This award will celebrate those looking to harness automation and AI to bring about positive change in the delivery or planning of care, cash- releasing back-office benefits or a substantial improvement in patient outcomes. Winning projects will evidence clear financial or clinical benefits, as well as display high levels of patient and staff engagement.
