Summary of the Patient Safety & AI Roundtable (Patient Safety Learning, 6 October 2026)

Summary

AI is arriving in health and care faster than the guidance and assurance around it, and too often the same problems are being solved separately, in isolation. Our new Patient Safety & AI Networks have been created with the intention to help change that.

Content

On Tuesday 6 October 2026, Patient Safety Learning held the first Patient Safety & AI Roundtables. The purpose was to launch two new Communities where those interested in AI and patient safety can come together and discuss how we can make AI safer for everyone:

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝟭 A safe, non-commercial space for people in health and care organisations and regulators who buy, implement, use, assure or oversee AI. No vendors: vendors and suppliers are kept out to protect members from unsolicited sales approaches and to keep discussions candid.

P𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝟮 A network for organisations that develop, supply, research or support AI in health and care. Members include AI solution providers (business-to-business and direct to patients), professional services firms, academics and researchers, consultants and the media. It aims to help members build and deploy AI more safely and to give them a collective voice.
