But. The NHS has been trying culture change for ever. You and I both for donkey years. Doesn’t work does it ? So we need a knife other wise patients sorry I mean all of us will still be having the same damn debates and more Kings Fund woo woo meetings. Need a dash of Elon I am Afraid. We won’t get it though
@2manypeople4me@rorysutherland@timricketts_@DrLKVaughan I find that. 111 with GP,s. Worked really well !! 95 % downgrades if Cat3/4. And they could go good stuff in Cat 2 too. And cost effective. As double the productivity of standard 111. Fab. Needs more of that
Yes, the NHS is complex, and “simple fixes” often become tomorrow’s embedded nonsense.
But defending the current model is also scarcity thinking.
We have built a system of rationed cognition: scarce appointments, scarce triage, scarce diagnostics, scarce senior judgement, then we act surprised when queues breed queues.
Post-scarcity healthcare means designing for abundant intelligence and capacity, not moving the bottleneck from GP reception to the pharmacy counter.
Exactly this. The NHS is still behaving as if expertise must remain scarce, rationed through limited training places, bottlenecked supervision and slow workforce planning.
But radiology is a perfect case for post-scarcity thinking: train more humans, wrap them in AI support, use senior expertise better, and stop treating cognitive capacity as a fixed Victorian asset.
The future is not fewer radiologists. It is more radiologists, amplified by abundant diagnostic intelligence.
@RoyLilley No one knows how to make AI work. That is not the issue. The challenge is working together at pace to figure it out. Instead people play doomsday cosplay and negativity. Perhaps we can the NHs leadership actually driving the change this time ? Fingers. Crossed 🤞
Elon Musk: Here are my controversial far-right views.
“We want safe cities, secure borders, sensible spending – tell me where I'm going far-right here. We want to have the right to self-protection. We should respect the Constitution and not try to break the Constitution. It's there for a reason. We should stop lawfare.
And right to free speech, you know, the First Amendment. If we don't have free speech, we don't have democracy, because people cannot make an informed vote. Those are my controversial views.”
