RUAIH focus area 5 — Transparency, education and training

Area 5 is the human perimeter of the programme: what patients are told, and what staff are taught. It is the smallest area by control count and often the last one addressed — a mistake, because half of its evidence is the dated-record kind.

The two controls

Patient disclosure. A standard for what patients are told about AI’s role in their care — owned by the organisation, not improvised per clinician. Whether the final RUAIH text requires per-system disclosure is not publicly available; the control that survives any version of the text is having a standard, so the organisation’s answer is a policy rather than a shrug. Evidence: the disclosure standard itself.

Workforce training. Role-specific education — clinicians on interpreting AI-influenced outputs and their authority to override, operators on the systems themselves, leadership on governance duties. Evidence: the curriculum and completion records, which are dated and therefore accumulate rather than draft.

The practical read

The disclosure standard is a drafting exercise — the artifact pack ships it written. Training is a calendar exercise whose records cannot be backdated, which is why it sits fourth in the preparation order: start the completions clock early and the area is quietly done by the time anyone asks.
