Case Study: NHS England accelerates safe AI adoption with Faculty

NHS England builds the UK’s first centralised chest imaging database with Faculty

The NHS England faced challenges in adopting cutting-edge AI technologies due to a lack of infrastructure for high-quality datasets and no clear process for evaluating model performance and safety for clinical use. To address this, they partnered with Faculty to help set up a dedicated AI Lab.

Faculty designed and implemented two key solutions: creating the UK’s first centralized chest imaging database for AI developers and establishing a rigorous validation process for machine-learning models. This novel approach ensures AI diagnostic tools are safe and effective before wider rollout, saving clinicians time and benefiting patients. Faculty's work has also helped guide the international governance of AI in healthcare.
