We use the term workflow Dr Simon Wallace, Chief Clinical Information Officer at Microsoft UK and Ireland

Microsoft recently launched Dragon Copilot, a next-generation AI clinical assistant designed to transform how clinicians manage time-consuming administrative tasks - from documentation and referrals to after-visit summaries. By streamlining workflows and integrating seamlessly with electronic patient records (EPRs), it frees up valuable time for what matters most: patient care. The technology combines fine-tuned generative AI with Dragon Medical One’s speech capabilities and the ambient AI of Dragon Ambient eXperience (DAX). It comes at a time when a Microsoft-commissioned report revealed that 40% of patients have experienced consultations where clinicians appeared too focused on their screens to fully engage. To find out more about Dragon Copilot I spoke to Dr Simon Wallace, Chief Clinical Information Officer at Microsoft UK and Ireland. Dr Wallace talks about his background, what Dragon Copilot does, the benefits of using Dragon Copilot and more. More about Dr Simon Wallace: Dr Simon Wallace is a medical doctor specialising in GP, hospital, and public health care with over 20 years of experience in healthcare transformation. He currently serves as the Chief Medical Information Officer (CMIO) and Director of Business Strategy for Microsoft UK & Ireland, where he leads the integration of health-tech innovations—especially AI and conversational systems—into clinical workflows.

Sepa Instant Payments insights Donal McGuinness, CEO of Prommt

SEPA Instant payments will allow personal and business customers to make a euro payment within ten seconds, 24 hours a day. In tandem with this, Verification of Payee (VoP) will also be introduced for both SEPA Instant and standard SEPA payments. The services are being introduced as part of the EU's Instant Payments Regulation and will come into effect from 9 October 2025. While the benefits of faster transactions and enhanced security are obvious, there may be some teething problems in the initial stages. Uneven rollout across Irish banks may cause short-term confusion or fragmented service, and VoP does not entirely eliminate scams or social-engineering risks. To find out more about this I caught up with Donal McGuinness, CEO of Prommt who was a guest on the podcast last year. Donal talks about his background, faster payments, and older demographics. More about Donal McGuiness Serial entrepreneur Donal McGuinness is CEO of Prommt. He studied Computer Science at DCU and Telecommunications Engineering at DIT and spent the early years of his career in the telecommunications industry.

In 2016 Donal joined a silicon valley startup in the identity verification space called Danal inc, where he set up and grew the global business outside of the USA as General Manager of EMEA until 2019 when the business was acquired by Boku Inc for $112 million USD.
