Cyber strategy, health AI and a hopeful ending

This week on CTRL + Care, Michelle and Katie are back with a bumper episode after last week’s tech issues, covering the biggest digital care stories from the past fortnight.
They explore the government’s new cyber action plan, the latest updates on the NHS 10-year plan, and the growing risks and realities of AI in health and care. There’s also a look at new attempts to bring order to ambient voice tech.
And to end on a lighter note, Cyber Squirrels returns with Lego’s smart bricks and a care home putting a Traitors-style spin on activities.
