These are the slides from the Artificial intelligence in primary care study day that took place on Wednesday 15 April 2026. These slides will be available to view until 21 January 2027.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency and patient care in General Practice. As demand on primary care services continues to rise, AI tools - ranging from digital scribes and triage to administrative support - are becoming essential.
This one-day hybrid study day brings together experts to demystify AI in primary care. The programme explores practical implementations, such as the use of triage and scribes in clinical practice, and how AI can streamline administrative tasks like managing clinic letters. Beyond clinical practice, the event will also cover medical education, addressing both postgraduate training and post-CCT work. The day also includes dedicated training on safety standards and regulations, equipping attendees with the knowledge to navigate the responsibilities of a Clinical Safety Officer - an essential role for using AI in the NHS.
Learning objectives:
By the end of this day, delegates will be able to:
- Evaluate the practical applications of AI in clinical settings, specifically focusing on the efficacy of triage models and AI-assisted documentation (scribes).
- Understand the potential for AI to reduce administrative workload and improve practice efficiency.
- Analyse the medical education landscape and how AI can help with both postgraduate training and continuous professional development.
- Identify the core responsibilities of a Clinical Safety Officer, including the necessary safety standards and regulatory frameworks required for implementing AI solutions safely.
- Discuss the challenges and opportunities of AI implementation with peers and experts during panel discussions and Q&A sessions.
