Happy Monday. The sun is shining and we are starting the week with some good news! We are delighted to be launching a new phase of work to improve diabetes data sharing from self-management devices. Devices that monitor and manage glucose levels can improve control, confidence and quality of life. However, this data is not consistently shared between systems, making it hard for health professionals to access and use in care. This project will explore how patient generated data from glucose monitors and insulin pumps can be safely integrated into electronic health records. We will be working closely with clinicians, service users, industry, our members and partners, and will consult widely as the work progresses. If you would like to contribute or stay informed, it would be great to hear from you. Find out more: hubs.li/Q0438w-C0 #DigitalHealth #Diabetes #Interoperability #HealthTech #DataSavesLives

The National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare is bringing together global AI leaders, clinicians and regulators to support the development of a new AI regulatory framework and will make recommendations to the MHRA in 2026. We responded this week to the Commission’s Call for Evidence, setting out our view that data quality must come first. High quality, standardised data is essential for safe, effective and interoperable AI. In our response, we recommend: • Compliance with recognised health information standards for AI • An accelerator approach to bring industry and professional bodies together to agree care processes and clinical safety guard rails • Information standards that evolve in step with AI • Transparent, explainable AI systems so decisions can be understood, challenged or overridden where necessary Read our full response here: hubs.ly/Q041_dPb0 #AI #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #DataQuality

RCGP is calling for urgent GP IT investment ahead of Scottish election The Royal College of General Practitioners has urged the next Scottish Government to prioritise updated IT software and hardware for general practice. Findings from an RCGP member survey conducted in August 2025 highlight significant concerns about the state of current systems. • 45% of GPs said their hardware is not fit for purpose • 53% said their software is not fit for purpose • 55% said their systems are not capable of effectively exchanging information with secondary care or community pharmacists The College warns that outdated hardware, unreliable software and poor interoperability are contributing to inefficiencies and adding pressure in general practice.
