In this episode, we interview Dr Jeff Hogg: a clinician scientist leading responsible AI innovation in healthcare through practice, education and research. Dr Hogg is programme lead for the MSc AI Implementation (Healthcare) at University of Birmingham and supports AI innovation at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust.

To keep up with the new era of digital health, doctors will need a brand new skillset. But they're already incredibly busy, with burn-out becoming an increasingly common problem among UK clinicians. Factors like poor work-life balance, unfair compensation, and intense workloads are pushing more and more healthcare professionals out of the country in search of brighter prospects. Many are leaving the workforce altogether.

So how can we ensure doctors are keeping up without worsening the problem? Dr Jeffry Hogg considers just how we can approach the enormous task of re-skilling an entire workforce.
