The past and future leader AI means leadership & management needs to help to implement these tools. But an AI enabled workforce, patient & NHS means changing leadership & management itself. Do we want to be micromanaged by AI or one people with autonomy? priteshmistry.ghost.io/the-past-and...

She wasn’t talking about immigration. She said it makes her angry to see black and Asian faces on adverts. This should not be difficult for a Conservative minister to condemn. The party has really jumped the shark.

Sunder is a consistent, measured voice of reason and he shows admirable calm in dealing with appalling attacks like this - this is more than “worrying”, it is shocking and outrageous

Is the NHS at the online tipping point? Looking at the latest data it seems as though online is becoming the norm for GP access. A closer look shows theres been great progress but there’s some groups that are not quite there yet & so there’s more to be done! priteshmistry.ghost.io/nhs-tech-tip...

The end logic of this if you’re in the UK btw is DEFEND THE BBC. Complain about it, protest bad coverage of course, but we won’t get another institution that makes safe, publicly funded, reliable, human-created, vetted content for kids if we let the BBC get destroyed.

New announcement of AI growth labs to accelerate innovation & cut processes in a contained environment (sandboxes). Includes £1 million to support the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to pilot AI-assisted tools for healthcare use. www.gov.uk/government/n...

“Technologies like LLMs have utility, but the absurd way they've been over-hyped, the fact they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses” www.anildash.com/2025/10/17/t...

"Some of the tech leaders presented themselves as moderates, but they politicked and spoke like right-wing reactionaries, especially on social media." This is't just happening in Silicon Valley - there's a similar movement in the UK. Less high profile, maybe, but formed and cemented on Twitter

Who will have to ‘go home’? How many is enough to leave a ‘culturally coherent’ group? What is the culture she’s talking about here? No potential Tory leader should be talking like this about foreign born or nonwhite British citizens. The Overton window has expanded gigantically, for the worse.

Looking at healthcare from a tech perspective can tell you what can be different, looking at healthcare from a people perspective can tell you where the tech limits lie.

My new article explores how AI isn't a choice for NHS, social care & other healthcare systems. There's a cost to standing still & while seen as a solution AI could increase pressure on healthcare. So: is the response to do more of the same or radically change? priteshmistry.ghost.io/healthcares-...

From solving the challenges in NHS & social care to driving economic growth there’s huge aspirations for AI in the UK. The NHS 10 Year Plan & Life Sciences sector plan outlines NHS vision to be the most AI enabled healthcare system through the innovation from life sciences companies.

This is just unacceptable, calling this a “bold plan” is ridiculous! It’s a plan to create a nation of fear and intimidation. Just no!

This week we had the announcement of a new hospital for the NHS, one entirely online…So what is NHS Online, what are the potential technical and social pitfalls & can we overcome challenges like digital exclusion? I explore these in my new article! priteshmistry.ghost.io/grounding-th...

(1) The prime minister should call out racism whether or not it’s politically convenient to do so. (2) I absolutely do not believe this is a vote loser for Labour, especially if done right and with conviction

Just been on R4 to talk about the NHS Online announcement! Some thoughts: Really good in principle could open access to many who can’t reach or access hospital services. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The pace of change in healthcare isn’t determined by the pace of innovation but the capacity to implement innovations. Just funding the development of new tech will not enable rapid improvements in healthcare.

Why has it taken him a week to call out such blatant racism? His silence during the first 24 hours was so harmful.

"You don’t fight the politics of violence by quibbling with the details. You stamp it into a million pieces! You draw a f*cking line!" If Keir Starmer won’t even make a moral case against deporting our friends and neighbours, then what is the point of him?

The NHS is evolving and changing, the intention is to have digital and data at the core while becoming an engine of innovation. Here's my latest article on the emerging details and some unanswered questions. priteshmistry.ghost.io/era-nhs-tran...

"In some areas of the country, St George flags and union jacks have been raised on lampposts and painted on roundabouts, which Ms Choudry said made her uneasy." This is exactly what was intended. This country needs to pull itself together.

Surely we can try to aspire to something better than this, Nick Robinson? Perhaps we could try listening to others, a basic sense of respect for others’ humanity, instead of insisting that our ‘freedom’ to be obnoxious is the first priority? Violent words often precede violence.

The AI aspirations of U.K. Gov & the NHS amount to nothing until we recognise & act on the fact unique NHS data in digital systems are largely inaccessible or costly to access. This is a long term problem as vendors are on 10yr+ contracts.

Tech can feel inevitable & the demos are often so convincing they give the impression that it’s the only possible future. However neither the inevitability or the single vision are true. Tech progress stalls The one future vision is one of many We need to progress what benefits patients and staff

This is welcome (if infuriatingly late) but I think credit has to go to Ed Davey for nailing the Lib Dems colours to the mast as against racism, ethnonationalism and violence on *the day of* the far right march and with the open letter days later Davey set the bar that showed up Starmers silence

Fancy a short read? Here’s my latest article on digital exclusion in the age of AI focusing on what I believe is an overlooked factor - AI personality traits! priteshmistry.ghost.io/ai-personali...

BBC continues its laundry job on the far right. Yeah, he's a violent racist but he loves his mum. It's just like the coronation really. Look at the photo- a patriotic street party. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why was I so efficient last week when I cleared all my ice cubes out of the freezer ?

What does AI mean for inclusive healthcare services? Here's some thoughts on this looking at AI personality traits. AI has a surprising capability to replicate personality traits, it affects accessibility & engagement-essential for inclusion & usability. priteshmistry.ghost.io/ai-personali...

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

"You can be English with roots here that stretch back a thousand years. But you can also be English and look like me" - Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood in the House of Commons today

imagine getting qt dunked by ed davey. unrecoverable. you’re furious and he is serenely going down a log flume in bognor regis.

*Taps the sign*

There's been a shift towards support to the far right here and it's horrible to see. But this remains a vastly less racist/homophobic/anti-semitic country than it has been in the past. Which makes it all the odder that our politicians today seem more scared to make the argument.

Given the context and the crowd, despite Musk’s weasel words, this was a call for violence against the British state, from a foreign national who controls a major propaganda engine, and has engineered it to monetise hate

My view is that no comment is not sustainable to tomorrow morning, without significant reputational damage to this government and to the Prime Minister personally, given the current mood of MPs, the party and the public

oh just FUCK off

I really worry that as a society we have now normalised the far right having a role in public life. That is going to be a terrible error. They should be ostracised, you should not feel comfortable expressing far right views in public, and you certainly shouldn't ever argue they might have a point.

For the next fascist demo we need to organise lots of lovely joyful anti-fascist activities that are not about physically turning up to face them. I’m talking street parties, discos, community events that drown them the hell out.

I’m absolutely fascinated by weight loss medications Short term effects & ripples of change from individuals to supermarkets, restaurants & culture It could be a minor ripple or a cascade of dominoes creating widespread changes Here’s my research & thoughts! priteshmistry.ghost.io/jabs-waistli...

Important point to remember! Irrespective of what you hear it’s important to vote.

This is great from @simonwillison.net much clearer than reported in the press. The Anthropic copy right case is a payout for using pirated books (ie unauthorised digital copies of books) not for using books to train AI. simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/6/a...

"Fears of mass unrest" over the appeal court over-ruling the high court. The Independent says police "braced" (again). There is once again a list of 23 locations where protests will be attempted. These v underwhelming (30-300 people) when previous protest "waves" announced last weekend & in July

The Federated Data Platform contract cost was £330m but a recent NISTA report disclosed the entire lifetime cost will be closer to £1B. That’s quite a difference, is this reason to panic?

This is from a short thread about the NHS but applies across the public sector I think.

The NHS is managed by committees. That structure is death to innovation as it tends to stifle anything new. AfC job descriptions require autonomy of decision but most people just do not dare use 1/10th of the power their JD gives them.

One of the reasons innovation in healthcare (& the NHS in particular) is so difficult is the need for control. There is now a 10yr plan all sketched out with the assumption this will all be controllable when innovation by its nature is uncertain.
