Yorkshire Ambulance Service uses Copilot to cut admin work; NHS England to expand to 500,000 staff

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says the Yorkshire Ambulance Service is using Copilot to reduce administrative work and make better use of its data, and says this provides a better experience for medical personnel and patients.

He presents the deployment as an early example of NHS England's plan to expand Copilot to as many as 500,000 clinicians and support staff across the country.

The report comes from Nadella's post on X and does not include independent figures on time saved or outcomes. The expansion is described as a plan and its timing is not stated.
