About this episode

The episode explores the impact of AI on clinician identity and the future of healthcare with Dr Kudzai Kanhutu.

Welcome to Pulse: Amplify, where we sit down with the leaders and changemakers shaping the future of health. In this episode Louise and George sit down with Associate Professor Kudzai Kanhutu to explore one of the most profound questions facing healthcare today: what happens to clinician identity, power, and learning when AI becomes part of the team? We discuss: Why clinician identity is the real conversation behind AI adoption What a coaching culture actually requires in a hierarchical, time-poor health system The gap between compliance-driven AI and genuinely personalised clinical decision support Kudzai's vision for AI as a 360-degree professional mirror - drawing on real outcomes data, not vibes The COVID lesson: creativity flourishes when compliance is no longer enough Why C-suite AI decisions need to be prefaced with a standing invitation to say "you got it wrong" Final thoughts: the world doesn't have to end in AI Connect with Kudzai: LinkedIn Visit Pulse+IT.news to subscribe to breaking digital news, weekly newsletters and a rich treasure trove of archival material.
