TopMedTalk - Addressing Drug Allergy Labels: Insights and Implications
<div> <p>The next episode from our colleagues at TopMedTalk features Andy Cumpstey interviewing Louise Savic, consultant anaesthetist and NIHR doctoral researcher at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, UK, who specialises in drug allergy and peri-operative anaphylaxis, and Tom Abbott, clinical senior lecturer in anaesthesia and peri-operative medicine at Queen Mary University of London, UK, and a consultant anaesthetist whose research uses clinical epidemiology and trials to improve surgical outcomes and reduce peri-operative complications.</p><p>The discussion highlights the vast disparity between true drug allergies and mislabelling, emphasizing that around 90-95% of penicillin allergy labels are incorrect. Dr. Savic shares her journey in drug allergy research, focusing on the perioperative setting, while Dr. Abbott discusses the linkage between antimicrobial prescribing and resistance.</p><p>The talk covers results from the Sapphire Project, revealing the high incidence of mislabelled drug allergies and their associated increased postoperative risks. The episode also explores potential strategies for ‘de-labelling’ patients, the role of multidisciplinary collaboration, and the next steps in research and practice change.</p><p><strong>This was recorded at the RCoA's Anaesthesia Research 2025 event and was first</strong> <strong>released on TopMedTalk in February 2026.</strong></p></div>

The role of AI in Anaesthesia: Insights from James Bowness
<div> <p>The next episode from our colleagues at TopMedTalk features Andy Cumpstey interviewing James Bowness, consultant anaesthetist, at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and an Honorary Associate Professor of Anaesthesia at University College London. </p><p>James and Andy discuss the definition and scope of AI, how it can be applied to healthcare, why Apple's approach to technology product development doesn't work in healthcare, and how clinicians can meaningfully get involved. James advocates for better links between industry and academia or clinical practitioners, and sees the opportunities for a so-called 'second mover advantage', to learn from successes and failures elsewhere before adopting them in anaesthesia and perioperative care. James shares the exciting work he's done with a national demand-signalling project for AI in anaesthesia.</p><p>Andy spoke to James at the RCoA's Anaesthesia Research 2025 event in an episode first released in February 2026.</p><p><strong>Useful Links:</strong></p></div><ul> <li><a href="https://uclpartners.com/shaping-the-future-of-ai-in-anaesthesia-a-clinician-led-call-to-action/">Shaping the future of AI in anaesthesia - demand-signalling project</a></li> <li> <a href="https://www.uclh.nhs.uk/our-services/find-consultant/dr-james-s-bowness">Dr James Bowness staff page</a> (UCLH)</li> <li><a href="https://www.topmedtalk.com/podcasts/the-challenges-of-ai-in-healthcare-a-conversation-with-dr-joe-alderman/">TopMedTalk episode page</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.rcoa.ac.uk/events/anaesthesia-research-2026-advancing-science-transforming-care">Anaesthesia Research 2026</a></li> </ul><div><strong>Recorded November 2025, released on TopMedTalk February 2026.</strong></div>
