UK Launches AI in Healthcare Commission to Speed NHS Adoption
The UK Government has launched a National Commission to oversee the regulation of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Chaired by Professor Alistair Denton and Professor Henrietta Hughes, the Commission aims to fast-track AI deployment in the NHS in England. It will review AI technologies currently held back by regulatory uncertainty and provide clarity on their use in various fields.
The Commission, which brings together clinicians, patient advocates, researchers, and tech firm representatives, will advise the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) on rewriting the regulatory framework for AI in healthcare. This new framework is expected to be in place by 2026. The Commission will review AI technologies such as AI assistants for clinical notes, and provide clarity on AI tools in radiology, pathology, and remote monitoring systems. Additionally, it aims to attract technology companies to invest in AI development and use their latest technologies in the UK.
A formal call for evidence will follow, inviting input from stakeholders across the UK and internationally, to shape the Commission's recommendations.
The establishment of the National Commission on the Regulation of AI in Healthcare signals the UK Government's commitment to embracing AI technologies in the NHS. By 2026, the Commission aims to provide a clear regulatory framework, fostering innovation and ensuring the safe adoption of AI in healthcare.
