I am a Partner in Bird & Bird's London-based Commercial Group. My practice principally involves advising clients on complex projects (including major public sector programmes and transformational outsourcings) and on a range of technology matters. More broadly, I advise on a variety of supply and services agreements across a number of sectors, with a particular focus on the Life Sciences & Healthcare and Defence sectors.

Digital technology is changing the way in which we receive healthcare. Healthcare providers are increasingly looking to adopt digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the benefits become clear. AI is particularly attractive given its ability to analyse large quantities of complex data. The NHS’s commitment to AI is demonstrated through the NHS AI Lab, which brings together government, health and care providers, academics and technology companies with the aim of accelerating the safe adoption of AI in health and care.

AI provides a myriad of opportunities for healthcare and life sciences, but also a few key challenges to navigate and understand.
