TopMedTalk, Artifical Intelligence in 2026

This piece sees the launch of a new series on TopMedTalk: we're delving further into the world of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare and we're going to do so at least once a month. Coming from the Association of Anaesthetists in London, Andy Cumpstey welcomes back former TopMedTalk Co-editor in Chief, Desiree Chappell , alongside editor-in-chief Professor Mike Grocott and Associate Professor James Bowness , Consultant in Anaesthesia at University College Hospitals London NHS Foundation Trust and Honorary Associate Professor of Anaesthesia at University College London and clinical scientist with G.E. Healthcare. As well as announcing the new series, featuring monthly AI-focused episodes with clinicians, policymakers, industry, and patient representatives. Specially recorded at the third stage of a UK and Ireland "demand signaling" exercise for AI in anesthesia, perioperative medicine, and pain management. It's a process designed to focus on clinicians' real-world needs rather than forcing unwanted technology use cases. The process includes surveying Royal College of Anaesthetists and Association members. -- Join us at Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) World Congress 2026 in London.
