Safety recommendation
HSIB recommends that NHSX, in collaboration with relevant stakeholders such as The Royal College of Radiologists and The Society and College of Radiographers, develops guidance to support independent benchmarking and validation of artificial intelligence algorithms for the identification of lung diseases such as cancer.
Response:
We are happy to lead on one of HSIBs recommendations. To do this, it would take approximately 6-9 months to deliver by standing this up as a work programme, with a nominated lead. We would therefore require £50,000 (approximately) to cover the costs for resourcing, etc. As next steps, we will reach out to The Royal College of Radiologists and The Society and College of Radiographers, to understand who is leading on this request at their end and suggest a collective response to HSIB.
