Hello, and welcome. I'm Eleanor Shaw from Edvance Technologies, and I'll be your guide. This is a practice simulation for NHS board members about the safe use of artificial intelligence. Here's how it works. You'll play an executive director on the board of a fictional NHS trust. An AI tool that helps triage patients in A and E has run into problems, and the board has to respond. In about fifteen minutes, you'll read a message, review a document and decide what to do, in three short acts. You can answer each question by speaking or by typing. After every answer, I'll give you private feedback, and at the end you'll get a personal report by email. Nobody else sees your answers. When you're ready, click Next to enter the simulation, and enter the access code you were provided to start the simulation.

- Answer each question by speaking or typing, as you would in a board meeting.
