NHS Embraces AI to Crack Down on Missed Fractures

The NHS is rolling out AI-powered X-ray analysis in emergency departments across England, aiming to slash missed bone fractures from 10% to nearly zero. NICE has greenlit four £1 AI tools to assist overstretched radiologists, who’re currently facing vacancy rates over 12%. These smart algorithms, used globally in 40+ countries, promise quicker diagnoses and happier patients. While AI won’t replace doctors, it’s the perfect sidekick to tackle workforce shortages with a dash of tech-savvy charm.
