We break down a landmark UCL study on the NHS's £21m programme to deploy AI in chest diagnostics.

They uncover the real reasons for significant delays, moving beyond the technology to the critical, real-world barriers: staff capacity, fragmented IT infrastructure, and complex governance. Find out why dedicated project management is the secret to success and what this means for the future of AI in healthcare.

Essential listening for any clinician, manager, or policymaker involved in digital transformation.
