Welcome to this latest edition of Casebook.
First up in this edition my colleague Ruth Russell Hutton shares our support for our members after Hurricane Beryl and some resources you may find useful.
We also look at artificial intelligence (AI), which is one of the fastest evolving areas in medicine. New examples emerge all the time of how it might transform the way doctors deliver patient care and how research into treatments might change.
Such is the pace of change, it would be a fool’s errand to predict its impact on medicine over the next ten years. But there are significant questions we could and should be asking. These include the medicolegal risks we could face as clinicians in cases where we disagree with the outputs of AI. I am glad we can provide a preview into some research the MPS Foundation has funded into this area.
Finally, I am very pleased to be able to introduce you to the new Chair of Medical Protection Society, Dr Graham Stokes. We have a clinician-led Council than governs the organisation and Graham is the first ever dentist to act as Chair. He brings many qualities to the role and in this edition he sets out some of his thoughts on taking up the position.
