THE NHS must make greater use of artificial intelligence (AI) to meet rising demand and reduce waiting times, the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) argued today.

In a speech at the RCR and NHS England Global AI Conference, college president Dr Katharine Halliday called for Britain to “urgently embrace” the rollout of AI.

Currently, the sector is already 30 per cent understaffed and radiologists are projected to have a 40 per cent shortfall by 2028.
