| AI, Accountability & the Future of Doctors: Will AI Replace Doctors? | 26 May 2026 | 00:25:34 | |
Once dismissed as Silicon Valley provocation, the question of ‘will AI replace doctors’, now feels a very real possibility. As large language models pass licensing exams and multimodal systems interpret scans at scale, the panel examines which parts of medicine are most exposed to automation and which remain deeply human. Diagnostic specialties may shift first. Clinical knowledge can be scaled. But accountability, judgment under uncertainty, communication of bad news, and ethical trade offs resist simple optimisation. So what does the future physician role look like?. Key Topics:

| Healthcare as Social Infrastructure: Loneliness, Prevention & the Future of Medicine | 12 May 2026 | 00:28:01 | |
Loneliness. Housing instability. Food insecurity. Obesity. Chronic disease. Increasingly, these issues don’t land in community centres or social services, they land in GP clinics and emergency departments. What happens when medicine becomes the catch all for problems rooted in social fragmentation? From eight minute consultations that can’t possibly solve loneliness, to pharmacists becoming surrogate community anchors, to the economics of GLP-1 drugs as population-level interventions, the panel examines where the line between health and social intervention is blurring and whether healthcare was ever designed, or can continue, to carry this load.

| Trust, Medical Error & the Future of Clinical Care | 28 Apr 2026 | 00:37:32 | |
Trust in healthcare has fractured between patients and clinicians, clinicians and institutions, and across society more broadly. In the wake of COVID, public health messaging, misinformation, politicisation and time poor consultations have left many patients sceptical and many clinicians defensive. Where did that erosion begin? And how it shows up today: in misdiagnosis, in eight minute consults, in ego, and in incentive structures. The panel asks whether a clinician AI partnership could help rebuild trust by extending time, improving accuracy, making evidence transparent, and shifting medicine away from paternalism toward shared understanding.

| Regulation, Incentives & the Systems Driving Modern Healthcare | 14 Apr 2026 | 00:44:44 | |
Regulation is designed to protect patients. Incentives are designed to drive behaviour. When they misalign, the whole system distorts. What happens when 20 year approval cycles collide with startup timelines, when “wellness” blurs into medicine, and when payment models reward activity over outcomes? Technology moves fast. Regulation and funding move slowly. The friction between the two is shaping what healthcare becomes next. Key Topics:

| Capacity Collapse: Can AI Save Modern Medicine? | 31 Mar 2026 | 00:32:24 | |
Healthcare systems are operating under sustained pressure. Expanding the workforce has not translated into improved access or stability. In some regions, increasing training places has exposed deeper infrastructure gaps,like placement bottlenecks, geographic mismatches, funding constraints and outdated care models that no longer reflect the burden of modern disease. How does capacity strain show up in day to day clinical work and why doesn’t supply alone resolve demand? The panel explores alternative models of care: task shifting to mid level providers, telemedicine beyond video visits, asynchronous pathways, AI driven follow up agents and technology enabled antenatal support. As patients increasingly seek 24/7 guidance through digital tools, the conversation turns to risk, guardrails and accountability, and how to integrate new forms of care without compounding system instability.

| The Current State of the Healthcare System | 03 Mar 2026 | 00:50:16 | |
Rising chronic disease, ageing populations, clinician burnout, and regulatory inertia are colliding in real time and putting healthcare systems around the globe under immense pressure. In this opening episode of Care Beyond Barriers, Christina Farr sits down with Dr Tom Kelly, Dr Hannah Allen and Dr Simon Kos to unpack what’s happening inside clinics and whether artificial intelligence can responsibly support clinicians without replacing them. From the nostalgic “platonic ideal” of a single trusted GP to today’s cognitively overloaded, system-driven care model, the panel explores how the role of the doctor is evolving. They tackle uncomfortable questions around AI accuracy, human fallibility, regulation, autonomous prescribing, and what remains uniquely human in medicine. Key Topics:
