    Jan 28 2025

    This episode covers the debatable topic of whether clinicians working in primary care should subspecialise. Munir Adam asserts that, whilst holding steadfast onto the all-important generalist role, there are multiple reasons for also going that little bit extra with an area of interest.

  • AI 7/7: The Future of Artificial Intelligence
    Jan 21 2025

    Send us a text

    This is the 7th and final episode of the AI mini-series.

    Previous episodes explored some of the ways in which AI is being used in healthcare in the UK, some of the work that is underway and potential future uses, and in the last episode some of the barriers and concerns.

    This episode looks into the future - what might the future look like? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? What are the implications likely to be?

    The episode questions the understanding of the term intelligence itself? What does it actually mean? Will AI ever become truly intelligent and self aware? Even if not, how is Elon Musk taking steps that may bridge that gap?

    Jan 14 2025

    Send us a text

    Having discussed some of the incredible potential of AI for the various uses in healthcare in the NHS, one must be mindful that just as no medicine is without potential side effects, AI too cannot be adopted without careful scrutiny.

    What are some of the ethical, legal and practical considerations that the Royal Colleges and our other representative bodies and the UK government are looking at? How can these potential barriers be overcome?
