Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Incubator for AI & Digital Healthcare - "Learning from evaluating implementation, experiences, and impact of artificial intelligence in NHS chest diagnostic services in England". After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. Presented by: Dr Angus Ramsay, Principal Research Fellow, Department of Behavioural Sciences and Health, University College London Dr Kevin Herbert, Research Associate in Health Economics, University of Cambridge Chris Sherlaw-Johnson, Senior Fellow, Nuffield Trust What is it? In this webinar, we will receive an update from the study of analysing implementation, experiences, and impact of AI for chest diagnostics, deployed in over 60 NHS hospital organisations through NHS England funding initiatives. This is a follow up from the webinar "Evaluating implementation, experiences, and impact of artificial intelligence in NHS chest diagnostic services in England" on 13th May 2025. Why should I care? We will present 'real world' learning on implementation of AI tools and their potential impact on service delivery, their resource implications and cost-effectiveness, and how staff and patients perceive and experience AI tools; we will also highlight key priorities for future research. Does it impact healthcare? Yes. We will discuss the implications of our findings for future implementation of AI tools at scale in NHS diagnostic services, including procurement, deployment, service design, resource use, and monitoring of impact. About the speakers: Dr Angus Ramsay is a Principal Research Fellow at UCL and Deputy Director of NIHR RSET, leading mixed‑methods evaluations of healthcare improvement, including AI in NHS diagnostics. Dr Kevin Herbert is a Research Associate Health Economist with the Cambridge Research Methods Hub, supporting RSET evaluations across public health, infectious disease, and healthcare services. Chris Sherlaw-Johnson is a quantitative health services researcher specialising in rapid evaluation, with experience in outpatient and virtual ward transformation.
