Generative AI is already being explored across the healthcare sector, from drafting documents to supporting administrative workflows. But while adoption is accelerating, guidance around safe and appropriate use is still evolving.
For many organisations, this creates a difficult challenge around enabling innovation while maintaining compliance, safety and professional accountability.
To explore this further, and as part of our wider work supporting safe AI adoption across the workforce, Skills for Health hosted a live, interactive webinar, bringing together healthcare leaders who are already navigating this landscape in practice.
Webinar details
Adopting GenAI in healthcare: how do I navigate this changing landscape?
🗓 Wednesday 6 May
⏰ 11:00–12:00
📍 Hosted on Microsoft Teams
What was be covered?
AI adoption in healthcare isn’t a future question; it’s already happening. The challenge is that, in many organisations, it’s happening faster than governance, policy and guidance can keep up. This session explored what that means in practice.
Attendees gained insight into:
- How to walk the narrow line between innovation and safe adoption
- The less visible, often overlooked risks emerging from unmanaged GenAI use – including one that 15% of GPs admit to encountering
- Real examples of how healthcare teams are already using AI to save time
- A practical approach to adopting AI while staying aligned with emerging regulation
- We’ll also examine what “shadow AI” use looks like in real settings, and what it means for clinical safety, accountability and organisational risk.
Attendees heard from healthcare leaders
This webinar brought together a panel of professionals working across clinical, operational and learning roles, including:
- Mr Marcus Lade, Change & Improvement Lead / Information Governance Lead, North Hampshire Urgent Care
- Kelly Thresher, IUC GP Clinical Lead, North Hampshire Urgent Care
- Dr Mike Nix, Clinical Scientist and AI researcher, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and University of Leeds.
Reasons for attending:
Whether you’re leading digital transformation, workforce development or clinical services, this session was helpful for those wishing to:
- Understand how healthcare leaders and organisations are adopting GenAI today
- Identify and manage “shadow AI” use within teams
- Make informed decisions about safe and proportionate adoption
- Translate emerging guidance into practical, real-world action.
