NHS offering AI tools to staffThe NHS is accelerating a plan to give more than half a million staff access to new AI tools. It hopes that using Microsoft Copilot will free up an average of 2 days a month from admin duties. 505-thousand clinicians and support staff are being provided with the tool, which helps to draft documents and analyse data more efficiently. The health service says it’ll allow them “to focus more time on patient care”. It follows a recent trial with 30-thousand staff – which suggests a full rollout could save millions of hours of staff time per month.
