Making AI Adoption Safe for a Research Institution
A leading London teaching hospital wanted to adopt AI across clinical and research workflows. But data governance was fragmented, and there was no framework for safe experimentation.
Service
AI Readiness and Guardrails
Duration
6 months
Location
London, UK
The Challenge
Researchers were already using commercial AI tools with sensitive patient data. The institution had no visibility of what was being shared, no approval process, and growing regulatory exposure. The board needed a framework before external audit.
Our Approach
What we did
Mapped all existing AI usage across departments
Established data classification and handling rules
Created an AI use case approval framework
Defined guardrails for external tool usage
Built leadership visibility dashboard for ongoing oversight
Results
Outcome
The institution now has a clear register of AI activity, an approval process for new use cases, and confidence that sensitive data is protected. Research velocity increased because teams know what is allowed.
"We went from risk exposure to controlled innovation in under six months."
