“The NHS will adapt by introducing artificial intelligence services and we already see Westminster and Stormont discussing this in their neighbourhood plans. Your phone call or email will be dealt with by an NHS chatbot which (who?) in many cases will be able to sort out your prescription request or minor ailment without any human being involved.”
What Dr Tom Black has said
“A GP day for me starts with multiple lab reports; some straightforward but some complex and time consuming. I then try to sort out some of the 400 prescriptions I'll be responsible for each day and then I move onto my phone calls and I'll try to clear the first 16 phone consultations before lunchtime in between seeing any patients that need to come in and see me.”
