Can AI help solve the NHS productivity challenge—and give clinicians more time with patients? Following the Budget’s announcement of a review into NHS productivity and AI, this Voices of Care conversation examines what meaningful digital transformation requires on the ground. Will Monaghan, Group Chief Digital Information Officer at University Hospitals of Leicester and University Hospitals of Northamptonshire, joins host M. Suhail Mirza to explore how technology can improve care while reducing the administrative burden on staff. Drawing on frontline implementation, Will explains why AI needs rigorous evaluation, continuous human oversight and the confidence of patients and clinicians. He also discusses fragmented systems, persistent cyber threats and digital technology’s potential to improve equity. Recorded before the Budget, the conversation offers a timely perspective on the challenge now facing policymakers: translating technological ambition into measurable improvements for patients and staff.
