AI in the NHS

Artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping how healthcare services are delivered and how NHS organisations operate. For NHS staff, this raises important questions about opportunity, risk, ethics and practical application. 

This online microlearning course provides a clear, NHS‑specific introduction to AI, supporting a shared understanding across both clinical and non‑clinical roles. It forms the first course in a proposed learning pathway of five short courses currently under development by HFMA.

By the end of this microlearning course, you will be able to:

• Describe how digital technologies are transforming healthcare delivery
• Identify examples of how AI is already being applied to NHS finance tasks
• Explain why AI adoption matters for NHS finance professionals.
