Key insight from CERSI-AI’s Impact and Sustainability Workshop
28th August 2025
On 18th June 2025, we hosted our CERSI-AI Impact and Sustainability Workshop. Led by Alastair Denniston and Peter Bannister, the workshop brought together regulators, clinicians, SME manufacturers, approved bodies, and patients to address a critical challenge: how we can build regulatory frameworks that both protect patients and enable breakthrough innovations to reach those who need them.
Highlights included:
- Stakeholder prioritisation sessions revealing critical regulatory needs which CERSI-AI can address.
- A showcase of HaRi – Hardian Health‘s Regulatory Intelligence database for AI-enabled medical device transparency.
- International insights from Joseph Ross (Yale University/Mayo Clinic CERSI).
The discussions reinforced that sustainable AI regulation requires collaboration across the entire healthcare ecosystem. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing key insights and recommendations from these important conversations. A huge thank you to all speakers, facilitators, and attendees for your energy, ideas, and commitment. We look forward to continuing the journey together.

CERSI-AI Director Professor Alastair Denniston has been filming with The Lancet Group, discussing how AI and machine learning are already transforming healthcare and research.
It’s a fascinating conversation about where we are now, and what’s next. We can’t wait to share the full recording with you this September!
How do we ensure safe, effective implementation of AI for diabetic eye screening in the NHS?
28th August 2025
Earlier this summer, we brought together a group of experts for a focused workshop on evidence for ARIAS (Automated Retinal Image Analysis Software) in the English NHS Diabetic Eye Screening Programme (DESP).
Co-hosted by the ARIAS Research Group, the NIHR Incubator for AI and Digital Healthcare
- Current evidence on human grader QA standards
- Results from a recent head-to-head evaluation of multiple ARIAS tools
- Key requirements to support safe, evidence-informed implementation in the NHS
Our goal was to share insights on performance, safety, and regulatory needs, and to collaboratively shape early recommendations for implementation pathways.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to such a constructive and impactful discussion, we’re excited about the next steps!
