Planned flagship publication
State of AI in UK Drug & Alcohol Services
A proposed 2027 sector report examining how organisations are using, governing and evaluating AI. The report does not yet exist and no findings are being claimed.
The proposed project
A grounded picture of adoption across the sector.
The project could combine an organisational survey with carefully designed qualitative work, transparent methods and lived-experience input. Its purpose would be to establish what is actually happening, rather than repeat generic technology forecasts.
Any future publication would distinguish reported practice from independently verified evidence and would describe limitations, participation and potential response bias.
Potential areas of enquiry
What the first edition could examine
AI adoption and tools
Governance and policy
Workforce confidence and training
Commissioning and procurement
Reported benefits and workload
Errors, concerns and incident learning
Service-user involvement and trust
Health inequalities and digital exclusion
Evaluation and future priorities
Register interest
Contribute to the project as it develops.
Organisations, commissioners, practitioners and lived-experience groups can register interest in future consultation or publication updates.
Planned for 2027. No survey data, participation figures, findings or publication date are currently claimed.
