About this episode

NHS England warns that a leadership void is hindering progress in technology investments as part of the 10-Year Health Plan.

Tech is one of the most important parts of the government’s 10-Year Health Plan , but this week NHS England has warned a leadership void is hampering progress and investment. We talk in more depth about this particularly public criticism and also discuss other key areas of tech that trusts are investing in, from electronic patient records to AI scribes. We also cover research that has revealed the over-complication of EPR training is having an adverse effect on productivity. The team shares how the NHS App and AI are set to evolve over the next few years as well.
