Great to see CPOC Board Partner @rcphysicians.bsky.social set out a clear view on digital & AI.

Digital infrastructure must be clinically led, starting with patient need, safety and outcomes, not driven by what technology alone can do.
Our new report ‘View on digital and AI’ reveals that while many doctors support widespread implementation of #AI in the #NHS, 68% believe the NHS lacks the digital infrastructure to introduce AI that will make a difference for patients.
