The NHS is ushering in a new era of digital-first care, using technology to bring faster, more personalised healthcare directly into people’s homes. In this blog, Dr Richard Dune explores how innovations such as remote monitoring, self-reporting through the NHS App, and AI-driven tools are transforming patient care and freeing up hospital capacity. He examines real-world pilots across England, including remote respiratory and cancer follow-ups, and a world-first motor neurone disease trial. The article highlights how this shift toward digital, data-led, and home-based care supports efficiency, prevention, and compliance across the wider health and social care system.

Artificial intelligence is no longer on healthcare’s horizon. It is here. In this blog, Dr Richard Dune examines Menlo Ventures’ 2025: The State of AI in Healthcare report and what its findings mean for UK health and social care leaders. He explores how AI adoption has surged across hospitals and life sciences, how governance and workforce readiness must evolve, and why digital maturity will soon define inspection readiness. As the NHS and care sector approach a new digital era, disciplined innovation, ethical oversight, and transparent governance will determine who leads and who lags behind.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the NHS from the inside out, freeing time for care and innovation. In this blog, Dr Richard Dune explores the landmark Microsoft 365 Copilot trial, which saved 400,000 staff hours a month by automating administrative tasks and improving productivity. He examines how AI is redefining efficiency, governance, and workforce wellbeing across the NHS, and what it means for the wider health and social care sector as technology, compliance, and compassion come together to shape a smarter, more sustainable future for healthcare.
