Professor Henrietta Hughes: Shaping the future of healthcare (17 April 2026)

Summary

Artificial intelligence (AI) is ushering in a new era, with the potential to reshape the world as we know it. In healthcare, it’s already starting to have an impact. AI can support earlier diagnosis and reduce the administrative burden on clinicians, giving them more time to focus on patient care. For patients, this could mean faster answers, more personalised treatment, and a healthcare system that responds better to their needs.

In this blog, the Patient Safety Commissioner for England, Professor Henrietta Hughes, reflects on the ongoing work of the National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare and the need to work with partners across the system to explore both the opportunities and the challenges this brings. She also shares details of an upcoming Ask Me Anything webinar on these issues that she will be hosting on Wednesday 20 May 2026.
