In this episode of AXREM Insights, Melanie Johnson and Sally Edgington speak with Graham King, Solution Architect for Analyse AI and Convener of AXREM's AI Special Focus Group, and Ben Reed, Digital Services Business Manager at Siemens Healthineers and Vice Convener. They discuss the recently launched AI Manifesto, which outlines the group’s commitment to responsible innovation in healthcare. A key focus is on the need for scalable adoption of AI across the NHS while minimising duplication, standardising compliance processes, and addressing funding challenges. The conversation also highlights the synergy between AXREM’s AI and Imaging IT groups and the importance of collaboration across the industry to foster standardisation, improve workflows, and ultimately benefit patient care.

The guests emphasise the urgency of adopting AI technologies at scale to tackle growing diagnostic demands, clinician shortages, and rising volumes of imaging data. They reflect on the longstanding role of AI in radiology and explore new applications including large language models for reporting and predictive analytics for patient no-shows. Additionally, they discuss the value of AXREM membership, particularly for SMEs, through shared expertise, access to key stakeholders, and opportunities for partnership. The episode wraps up with a light-hearted discussion about time travel, revealing Graham’s curiosity about the past and Ben’s desire to leap into the future.
