What AI will do

  • Retrieving and summarising patient medical history
  • Flagging drug interactions from prescriptions
  • Generating referral letters and standardised notes

What keeps you human

  • Diagnostic reasoning in ambiguous clinical presentations
  • Patient communication and the therapeutic relationship
  • Ethical judgment in life-affecting decisions

Medicine combines technical expertise, physical examination, and irreducibly human judgment. AI is already augmenting diagnostics, but the GP's role — understanding a whole person across years of care — is among the most durable in existence. Patients trust doctors, not algorithms.
