Pritesh, Louise and George explore what it really takes to share authority and clinical risk with better-informed patients, the sycophancy problem with consumer AI, and whether these tools will widen or narrow inequalities. Pritesh makes the case for building \"AI readiness\" as a core public capability rather than hardwiring rigid plans.\n\nConnect with Pritesh on LinkedIn\n\nResources:\nPritesh Mistry, Is the NHS Ready for the AI-Powered Patient?, The King's Fund (26 May 2026) Link\nKeep Britain Working Review: Final Report, GOV.UK Link\nFit for the Future: 10 Year Health Plan for England, GOV.UK Link\n\nVisit Pulse+IT.news to subscribe to breaking digital news, weekly newsletters and a rich treasure trove of archival material.
