ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
The podcast about how dental organisations actually deploy technology,
and what separates the deployments that work from the ones that quietly
fail. Hosted by Dr Randeep Singh Gill, dentist and technology strategist.
AI is having its bubble moment and most of the conversation around it is
sales hype. This is the opposite: candid, unfiltered conversations about
the real work of adoption, the operating models, governance, data
infrastructure and human behaviour that decide whether any tool ever
delivers value. Dentistry is one of the most operationally complex
corners of UK healthcare, which makes it the right place to have this
conversation honestly.
Guests have included the clinical leadership behind the largest AI
deployment in UK dentistry, AI strategists advising the UK Government,
technology founders with FDA-cleared and regulated products, governance
experts from major national infrastructure, and group and DSO operators
running scale and clinical governance at once.
What you will hear:
- Why most technology adoption fails, and what the successful minority
do differently
- The sequence that works: fix the process and the data before you
automate or add AI
- Operating models, systems architecture and the infrastructure beneath
the tools
- Governance, accountability and risk when technology enters high-stakes
clinical decisions
- Deploying at scale across multi-site and multi-region groups
- Change management, stakeholder trust and taking people with you
- Where AI genuinely creates value in regulated environments, and where
it is noise
The register is analytical, not promotional. No vendor talking points,
no breathless futurism. Listened to by practice owners, group and DSO
leadership, clinical directors and the suppliers who serve them.
Independent editorial. Always.

When an AI tool contributes to a clinical decision and a patient is harmed, who is liable? The clinician who acted on it, the organisation that deployed it, or the company that built it? Right now, English law cannot give a clean answer, and every organisation adopting AI is operating inside that u…
