Liability sinks & How to avoid becoming one. With Dr Sarah Townley- Deputy Medical Director at MPS

In this episode, Annabelle is joined by Sarah Townley, Deputy Medical Director at MPS Medical Protection Society, to discuss the growing problem of the "liability sink"—where clinicians and healthcare organisations can end up carrying the legal risk for AI-assisted decisions. We explore why the law is struggling to keep pace with AI, what changes are being proposed, and the practical steps clinicians can take now to protect themselves while using AI safely in practice.

This episode is based on the following reports from the MPS:
